Pretty bad deal, I don't know why you'd want a 3800xt 1650 build in the first place. I wouldn't cough up more than meh, 700 for it, being generous.

Looking for a new desktop. Is it that bad I thought the 3800xt was a good CPU.

 

Obviously want a better GPU for rendering but everything is bananas

The 3800xt isn't bad per se, it's just pretty bad value.

Mate im not knowledgeable on these things can you explain why.

Performs extremely similarly to a 3700x, It's basically a binned version with its clocks raised slightly. You pay a lot of money for essentially nothing. Even right now the 3700x isn't a great value as there's cheaper chips out there that may outperform it in certain workloads, such as the  i5-11400f that goes for $170 in most gaming and single-threaded workloads.

Ah that explains that but in thought it was equivalent to an i7 not I5

What about in multi-threaded workloads?

This in 3d modelling it be better but anyone else chime in

I mean should he pretty obvious. The 3800xt should usually outperform a 11400 with its 2c/4t advantage. More cores, technically higher clocks, similar-ish IPC, yeah.

It's Case-dependant however, sometimes the 11400 might be able to squeeze out a win.

uhhh well that's not quite how it works. I... I don't exactly know how to explain it to you. 

[Diddlydennis]

Eughh this is confusing

I meant, is there a similar 8 core/16thread processor that is a better bang for the buck than the 3700x?

Excluding extremely old 8 cores you can buy for under $30, uhh yeah, the 10700f. Regularly goes for under $260 while the 3700x hasn't dipped below $300 in a while. What processor has the best performance will depend, but for $40 less both of these chips trade blows. I suppose you can argue the 3700x might go on a sale, however you can make the same case for the 10700f.

A 1650 with a 3800XT is a pretty stupid combo. Not sure why you would put a CPU that is worth $380 with a GPU that was worth 120ish. 
 

You would get identical performance with a R5 3600 with a 1650.
