Question Ryzen 3700X or 3800X (they are the same price)

[museprime]

I am looking into purchasing a Ryzen CPU. I know the 3700X is the more sound purchase however I found that they are the same price for at $299 should I just stick with 3700X or just get the 3800X since they are the same price?

Thanks in advance

I have a 3700x on an Asus ROG Strix X470-F motherboard and I am Very happy with it.
BUT, if you can get the 3800x for the same price as a 3700x and you have a motherboard with decent VRMs, my recommendation is that you get the 3800x.

Take 3800x if they are same price, it's just higher binned (and faster) 3700x.

Actually it’s $30 more is it still worth it?

You gain 100MHz which is not much overall, it's on you to decide if that's worth 30 bucks.
