Guys, in a dilemma.

I have plan to upgrade my GPU from 3070ti to 9070Xt soon, maybe in few more months.

With that in mind, know my CPU is bottlenecking my setup. My dream is to have 5800X3D as my eternal CPU and knowing the market, it's extremely rare to get one. Price overshoot exponiently. Thus, I'm looking at 5700X as a cheaper alternative.

Suddenly today I found someone who's willing to sell his 5800x3d for approx 330USD while at online shopping app Shopee they are selling 5700X at 160USD. To add a bit more - I have to travel 440km to go get the 5800x3d since he firmly stated for COD method of business.

I have the money for either of them, but as I am planning for a GPU update later I am now leaning on saving a bit more money if possible. Of course I have studied both CPUs - they are both great for gaming but X3D is more superior for Sims/simulation/heavy open world type of game.

So guys, any of you in my same boat before? Any advices on which I should choose.
