My budget is a little tight currently i can afford only one of the above two options. please someone clarify what should i do.

3080 all the way. 6 cores is still enough for most gaming tasks, so the extra 2 cores of the 11700F won't be doing a whole lot. Plus given the pricing of 11th gen CPUs on the used market (at least from what I've seen) it's likely the cheaper option.
