I'd go with the CPU and see if GPUs don't chill out tbh

do you know if R7 9800X3D or R7 7800X3D is better

The higher number should tell you that much (joking, but it's true here) value wise that might change with fluctuations but I'd still go 9800x3d

is ~4% performance gain worth an extra $150-250 for the 5070 Ti over a 9070 XT? Also, at 4K the difference between differences is maxed out, its even less of an improvement at 1080p and 1440p (2-3%)

I have a RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 7 5800X.

I will upgrade to 5070 ti and a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D or a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D depending on which one is better (I have no idea so please tell me).
 

but there will be a 2-3 months between the upgrades so what would be better to buy first?

Which one is better will largely depend on your budget and what games / apps you plan to use. The 9800x3d is better but more expensive. Either one is good tho and should serve you well for a year or two.
