The 7900x3d isn’t that great of a gaming CPU, you’d be better off with the single CCD 7800x3d.
But if you’re going for high end why wouldn’t you go for the 9800x3d/9950x3d? The only reason I picked the 7000 series was the lack of availability with the 9000 series x3d at the moment. And if you’re getting 90000 series x870e offers a lot of features as standard over x670e.
If it’s just for gaming, you really don’t need the absolute top of the line in terms of CPU. I can’t think of a game I’ve ever played that maxes out my CPU on all cores.
Unless you’re also using it for CPU-specific and intensive work outside of gaming, you won’t gain much from spending more money.
