Budget (including currency): 2000-3000€

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Gaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I was thinking of buying a 13600k for my new build, however over the last few days AMD prices have massively dropped in EU. 13600k still being around 400€ but 7900 dropped to 520€ and 7950X to 640€. Should I consider going 7900 or even 7950 considering their long term upgradeability with AM5?

Specs:

 

CPU: Ryzen R9 7900X  GPU: XFX Speedster Merc 310 7900 XTX Black  Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX x670E-F Gaming WIFI  RAM: G.Skill Z5 Neo CL 36 DDR5 6000  PSU: Corsair RM1000X  Case: Lian Li Lancool 216 CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm ARGB

I personally would spring for the 7900x since it dropped in price so much
