Should I get a 3800x + mobo + other parts?

[cst1992]

I have a build from 2016 with these parts(also in my profile):

i5 4690k 4.3 GHz
Deepcool Gammaxx 400 CPU Air Cooler
Asus Z97-A motherboard
32GB RAM (4x8GB)
NVIDIA RTX 3060Ti reference
Seasonic X650 650W 80+ Gold power supply
970 Evo Plus 500GB NVMe SSD

The 4690k is 6 years old now, so I am looking to upgrade it.

I have a person selling their build with a stock R7 3800x in it.
I am not going to buy the whole thing, but I have quoted him $545 for these parts:

R7 3800x
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max mobo
Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz stick - 1 16GB stick low-profile (CMK16GX4M1E3200C16)
Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB Liquid CPU Cooler

I'd be willing to pay $80 extra for these:

WD Blue SN550 500GB NVMe SSD
Windows 10 64-bit preinstalled

I am looking to reuse my 3060Ti, my power supply and my 970 Evo Plus SSD(the B450 mobo has only one NVMe slot, so this'll be an extra;
but then I'll have to install my own Windows OS)


I have Windows 7 64-bit installed in my current system which I found out is not compatible with the 3 series(Matisse) Ryzen CPUs.
I could also ask him just for the W10 key and let him keep his SSD, but I haven't talked to him about that. Also, the deal is not confirmed yet.


Is this a good deal? Also, am I missing anything that I should be aware of?

No. It's not worth it. The 3800x is only slightly better at gaming.

You can basically get a 5800x + decent B550 mobo for less than $600, ram is less than $100. AIOs are shit in general and should be avoided.

Windows can be had for $10.

Personally I would wait for Alder Lake and get the i5 8c+6c with a DDR4 platform. That or wait for Zen with 3d cache.

If I decided to buy new, these are the prices:

5800x: $530
B550 mobo(the same as the one I'm getting, but b550 instead of b450): $230
RAM: single 16GB stick: $85, single 8GB stick: $55
AIO cooler(same as the linked one): $100
Windows 10: $115(where are you getting it for $10?!)
