looking to upgrade cpu

I currently have a ryzen 7 2700x and im looking to buy a new am4 cpu, since i wont have the money to do a full new build. i've been looking at ryzen 5 5700x because it seems to be in a good place for me price wise, but would the 5800x be a better upgrade for only 30€ more atm? also the new 5700x3d dropped but the price seems a bit steeper for my price range

 

also im currently running a gtx 1080 so i know that i will be bottlenecked but im looking to upgrade that aswell in like a few months.

i mostly only do gaming, no editing or workloads really

Did you check your motherboard is compatible ?

Did you update your Bios ?

I'm willing to swim against the current.

5800x power consumption is a lot higher than the 5700x and the performance gain is about nothing. 5700x it is, or 5700X3D/5800X3D if the price is right.

theres a 70€ gap between 5700x and x3d so im just wondering if its worth that much more
