Just two options (Specs at sign. Would upgrade the case to a Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901 for personal reasons and also a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black):
1. Update BIOS to the latest non beta stable, pop in a 5800X3D and a 4070 Super and call it a day for another long time (If so, i don't need to reinstall W10, right?. Just update the chipset software to a newer version and reconfigurate the BIOS' RGB, Armour Crate OFF, etc)
What'd be the improvements for BOTH casual working (Photoshop, Premiere, Handbrake..) AND gaming (AAA games like ALAN WAKE 2, etc) over the 3800x?
Prices:
5800X3D: 320 (from 456€)
4070 Super: Around 700-920 (Ti Super, 16GB)
Be Quiet tower: 320-350 (stock reasons)
Noctua: 120€
Total: ~1490€
2. Full AM5 7800X3D upgrade but picking a motherboard's a russian roulette of possible issues and features, and AM5 kinda not mature enough i've heard but some are lucky?
Price: +2000€
Thoughts?

I dont have a large pool, only 3 machines. But I've done 3 AM5 builds and no issues. (mine, my sons, my daughters).
And my friend Avi that owns the PC store in ohio has done tons on AM5 builds and said he's not ran into any problems. And runs a 7950X3D as his daily at home.
Only issues he's ran into is customers builds they bring in, that they never updated the BIOS on, and was using like 2 year old, came with the board BIOSes on lower end boards.
Depending on your price, or more specifically your 'chasing every % of gains' a 5800X3D and 7800X3D isn't a huge difference in real world gaming situations unless you are running like dual 4K CPU intensive games like MSFS or intense VR games.
With a 4070 the difference in frame rates would be negligible.
I went from 5800X3D to 7800X3D in my new builds (had a 7900x, but gave it to my son as the X3D does better for MSFS and racing VR by a hair). But both the 5800 and 7800 was literally no difference in monitor rates. Both paired with a 4080 capped my refresh rate of 144 in nearly every game.

First: I'd like to know what brands/boards did you and your friend used for the AM5 builds, for reference.
Second: I've already said my uses (forgot Word, Excel.. But those are very basic. WinRAR?...Perhaps, but no hurries, same for Handbrake sometimes, so "more than 8 cores wouldn't be much of use for me (i think)" but i need "THE BALANCE")
Third: No plans at all for VR and i don't do any kind of MSFS nor World of Tanks etc. ALAN WAKE 2 was just an example of recent games, along RATCHET & CLANK DRIFT APART, RETURNAL, etc are like Zen3?,4? Gen CPU eaters, along GPU...
Not much difference between 5/7X3D?!...7X3D is 4.2/5Ghz !!... 5X3D is 3.4/4.5Ghz!
I have a few small questions tho, when it comes to the 5800X3D route, so i am KINDLY asking for "reasons, pros, cons, whatever stuff i need to know" IN A KIND WAY (No trolling nor short replies)
-3800x is 3.9Ghz but 5800X3D is 3.4. Sure, it has a bigger cache but then the 5800x is 3.7Ghz. Does it makes that much of a difference?
-Why people says 5800X3D is not made for casual workload (my app needs, for example?) when the Techpowerup and Guru3D benchmarks on the CPU's reviews shows higher/better scores than a 3900x (and 3800x?)?
-5800X3D recommends a liquid cooler but NO WAY I AM PUTTING TUBES AND WATER IN MY PC AT ALL (NOPE.AVI 100%). Would i still be safe with the Noctua upgrade?
-Would i be just fine without enabling XMP STILL?..Nor undervolting (for now)?. My actual board hasn't got any kind of BSODs nor similar with XMP OFF nor touching volts nor RAM nor anything dangerous in the BIOS, only RGB, Armoury Crate Off and fTPM to prevent W11 from installing)
I know people here are tired of hearing me say this but thought a reminder would be nice: I tried an auto XMP on my Z170 and the RAM SLOTS DIED. END. NO MORE XMP NO MATTER WHAT!!!
-I repeat the same doubt above: I don't need to reinstall W10, right?. Just update the chipset software to a newer version and reconfigurate the BIOS' RGB, Armour Crate OFF, etc (I am purposely stucked on a certain W10 version because the newest one had a couple of changes i didn't liked and got a Macrium Reflect backup)
-Are you telling me that upgrading my 2070 to 4070 Super is a bad idea?.. Sure, i've got a 1080p 120hz monitor, but ALAN WAKE 2 was one of those games were i staretd noticing "THE FALL OF THE GPU"
Please also note i've got a LG C3 TV with 4K 120hz ports. My actual 2070 has the HDMI 2.1b cable for such quality but can only do 1440p 120hz for now
Monitor: Drawing, small tasks, some games, etc (To prevent OLED burn in)
TV: Movies, big games with gamepad once the 4070 Super (Ti) comes, if it comes.

True, it's faster in benchmarks. But rarely did I have anything that slammed the 58003D, so the 78003D still hits my FPS cap before either my card or CPU is limiting it.
I admit, say, in 3dmark it was higher score for sure. But actual gaming? 144fps is 144fps. I guess if I unlocked FPS to no limit it would go slightly higher on the 7 series. But that makes no difference if it's over your monitor rate other than "bigger number in corner"
Only place I saw a difference was MSFS, and that was marginal as my 4080 starts crying uncle before the CPU. So while the 7 series IS faster. Unless you get to where you would be pushing it beyond what the 5 series could manage it will be same-same for end user.

Mine was gigabyte and MSI (2 giga, 1 MSI). For him (my friend) literally ever brand that isnt "...who is elitegroup? They make motherboards?" obscure brands.
For the XMP/(whatever that Manf calls it). I suspect your XMP issue was a fluke. I have never NOT had it on. And my friend always does to. His motto to his customers that dont have it on when they bring a machine in: Why buy a CPU that likes ram speed, spend money on ram speed. Then disable that feature?

No idea. I do my work on my PC: VM workstation, coding, emails, excel, Compiling, etc. as well as gaming. And it was perfectly fine.

Shouldn't need to. I have moved HD to many new machines from old machines. Hell I have a SSD that is just a windows install I use for troubleshooting I toss in any random machine people bring me, and their windows is a bloated nightmare.

Nah, a good air cooler is fine. I had it on mine. Then moved to a nzxt kraken. Which is WAY overkill for it. the X3D chips are clock locked (no OC, or ramping over listed boost speed) and run cooler than the non 3D. The 7900x ran around 70 on the kraken at full stress load. the 7800X3D barely reaches 45-50 under full load. So a 5800X3D and a good dual fan air will be prefectly fine.

2.I repeat, with a jump from 3800x to the 5800X3D, and an upgrade from RTX 2070 to Super 4070 (ti Super), why do you say it'd be negligible/insignificant upgrade?...Sure there'd be framerate limititations but the games would run (and look better in case of LG C3's 2K/4K) constantly better for a 1080p 120hz?..
3.I'm saying because, again i saw Techpowerup and Guru3D benchmarks and there's atleast some upgrade in productivity sense over my 3800x and was just thinking too much of the lower Ghz stuff compared to my 3800x. (Here i think "higher Ghz is always better" back then in Intel days with the Z170
4.That's a relief!. Guess i should first update the Chipset software for compatibility, then enter the BIOS to update it via USB, set things up, pop in the new CPU and cooler and that's it?
5.And here i thought the X3D would be hotter with the 90C limit being more worrysome than my 95C one...
---
Just wanted to drop my thoughts to what'd have been the stuff for the AM5 route if it ever happened (Some of them also applies to the 5800X3D part like the PSU, for better organization etc):
-Motherboard:
It needs to have TWO USB 3.2 19pin headers + 1 Type C header for the PC case's front USBs to work out. It'd be ok if i just had only 2 3.2 and no Type C with the 5800X3D upgrade!
People says the GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX (rev. 1.3), but i cannot find the 1.3 on spanish buying sites (Not even Newegg mentions such revision at the title) although some people says they had issues with BIOS or the Ethernet port disconnecting randomly (You need internet almost 24/7...How can they tolerate such issues??)
ASUS only has such USB needs on the MAXIMUM/HERO OVERPRICED SHIT and NOT on the TUF series, so that's outta the question for once (ASUS fan, yep...). There's PRIME but...I don't think so.
The last but "Russian roulette" board would be the ASRock X670E STEEL LEGEND. Has it all, has a very nice price but some people mentioned that disabling the Ethernet 2.5Gb port solved some audio/video "crackling issues"...Excuse me, how can you explain that?. There are other things i've read but forgot what they were about
-CPU: 7800X3D
-Noctua NH-D15 still ! (I know people says an PA120 wich is cheaper but... All black on the Noctua! (and bigger height adjustable fans..Should fit the tower below, 190mm)
-RAM: Whatever's in the QVL list for safety and maybe future tests. 32/64GB. Would CORSAIR VENGEANCE be ok or just the DOMINATOR ones from the QVL?
-Still the same Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901 (Very modular, insane space for future GPUs, 190cm CPU cooler height, 3 1900RPM max fans (Would add 2-3 SILENT WINGS 4 1900RPM on the top for EXHAUST and can be connected to the tower itself and not the mobo!), DVD drive! (Sure it'd lock out some of other options, but that's where hanging SSD/HDD bays would come, but just for the HDD,since it has side panel SSD placers, with a weird SATA positioning?)
-CORSAIR SHIFT RM1200x (side plugs, better organization, sleekness, a few more cables than the 1000W model and also future proof. CANNOT BE DISCUSSED!)

Also had the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi one and it worked fine. I just changed it out as when I built my sons PC I gave it to him (with the 7900x) as I found a white themed MB, the ROG one I have now, that fit the color scheme of my case better.
Unless you want all the bells and whistles you dont NEED the X670 one, its overkill. Do you need more PCI lanes than 36? You running multiple GPUs and tons of SDD/NVMEs all at once? or overclocking a 7950x to high limits? And dual 10GB network? Then yea x670 is what you need. But otherwise a 650 is more than enough.
I mean I got a B650 and run a 4080, 3 NVME's (one is gen 5), 2.5 Ethernet, 2 SSDs, 2 Spinning disks, and about 30 USB devices with case USB-C cable and two onboard USB-C in the MB itself. And two of 3.2 USB headers.

Just buy the 5800X3D, slam a random good air cooler on it and be done with it.
Honestly, its a no brainer if you're not needing every last FPS.
I'm waiting for the 8800X3D (if something like that even comes), to move from AM4 to AM5. Not that I really need to, I just feel the urge to build a new system after 7 years.

Jesus dont compare the GHZ only, its the IPC that matters.
Used to Intel back then with the Z170 and simple minded stuff. I guess every Zen Gen upgrade there's that higher IPC or something.. Yes, i'm a big noob, hence why i'm asking for help almost all the time on such hard stuff like this

Again, there's stuff i don't know on MB tech. PCI lanes?...No idea. I tend to run only one GPU and that's it. No OC as you might've guessed already. 2 SATA SSDs and 1 mechanical (SSD1 1TB for OS, SSD2 500GB quick backup/data but might soon need a higher one that's not the faulty 970 SATA i've been reading or the Crucial MX500. HDD 4TB for big backup/downloads (games and some series/soundtracks
Out of curiousity. What'd be a B650 board that has all the needs i need?. I went for my X570 because it had tons of back ports but back then, i think, there wasnt the Type C header and only one 3.2 header
Also, i've heard that if i change a CPU to another one i'd have to change the Windows 10 activation key. Mine's yarr'd by that "hwid.kms38.gen.mk6" app. Would i have to go through the app again without issues?

Wait I just noticed, you only need to 600 series if going to 7800X3D. not 5800X3D.
5800X3D is AM4, 600 series (7800X3D) is AM5.
You want a b550/x570

Now the only thing left is the case to safely fit the GPU, space etc...
Someone recommended me the CORSAIR 7000D but saw some glass panel issues (door hanging and the glued part holding it going off in time, iCUE issues unless BIOS controlled the fans..)
Alternatively there's the Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901. Has everything minus HDD LED and Reset button (i know. Who uses em now?) but some people reported that the tactile buttons might stop working correctly in due time... Sure if that happens i could buy a Fan hub and send it all to hell
Reasons are because, besides of space, there is a ton of space for the CPU Cooler to fit
Money aint much the trouble but dont want to go past the 901's price if possible

I can't recommend the O11 Dynamic EVO enough. Or whatever its current gen version is called.
Hands down the best case I ever have had. But that subjective and taste/desired options opinion based if other people think it is.
Config options are endless, more room than you know what to do with, a great back panel config with PSU and all HD's tucked back there and space for cables. I got 13 ARGB fans with 2 controllers back there: 26 cables just for fans and with 2 8 port ARGB/Fan controller boards. Along with the PSU and all its cables, 2 spinning disks, and 3 SSD's.
And had no problem organizing that all in the back with room to spare.
And all wire routes to the front are grommeted.
These are all the HD's I have in my case, and you cant see any of them from the front:

Great to know, but there's one big issue on my side of the upgrade things...
Noctua NH-D15 would be SPACE TIGHT in that case... 165mm cooler, 167mm case. Must lift up the 14cm fan for RAM clearing
BQ901 is 190mm capable

That other LL case also has the same CPU Cooler height
I might skip the 901 at this rate. Discovered more people having issues regarding the tactile buttons, but now USB input issues... My hopes, SHATTERED, for now...
I'll look for alternatives. Can't believe it's happening now. No, i haven't bought any parts yet. If i don't get the case first i can't go with the rest

Could change the cooler. I myself say just get a 280/360 AIO and call it a day.
Custom water is a pain and I dont think Id ever do it (draining in a bitch), and I was in the "Air cooler forever" crowd until my friend gave me the nzxt kraken to use.
Now mine and both my kids are on AIO. Dead simple to install, easy as a air cooler really. And not one problem from them out of all 3 machines for 3+ years now since the first one went in.
Even air, the DH-15 is a bit overkill for a 5800X3D. Could just downsize the air cooler.

There's still a bit of hope for the BQ901. I've contacted BQ and they were blazingly fast to reply, saying they acknowledged the issue and that new batches should come with the I/O stuff fixed out!
The seller with the "cheapest" price (shipping reasons..) said they sold the last 901 BUT by Feb 29-Mar 1 a new batch should come, and that'd be the moment to get one and save me the issues!
ALSO BQ said that, if shit happens with the I/O (or any other part?), they can send spare parts with free shipping (No need to send the entire tower unlike one poor soul from Ukraine on Reddit who had to send the entire tower and wait 21 fucking days)

(Didn't wanted to create a new topic so i continue on this one)
So i finally went the AM4 (FOUR) small upgrade route and was lucky to nab the Be Quiet! case (Revision 1.1! as i've been told by BQ, as it fixed some I/O issues)!!
Other components to upgrade have also been bought:
-Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901
-5800X3D 274€ from 455!
-Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black 119 (yeah, this babe not going down anywhere...)
-CORSAIR SHIFT 1200W (from 240 to 212€ on sale. I know, overkill, but has a few more cables than 1000W for 6€ difference!..YOU NEVER KNOW!!!)
-Nvidia GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super GAMING OC Black (Back to black at last)
There's only 2 things left, wich are simpler...
FIRST
The case has 3 fans. 2 front and 1 rear. 1900RPM each but can be controlled out with the tactile stuff or connecting em to the Mobo (Or get a hub if that last one fails)
I wanted to add more fans to make the air flow as better as possible and make the CPU as cooler as possible without the use of AIO liquid stuff (NO LIQUID!).
I've read that i could get the same volume of airflow with more fans with slower speed for noise reduction
If that can work out, my plan is to get 2-3 more fans, exact SILENT WINGS 4 High Speed PWM 140mm model as the tower's. One for the front and 1-2 for the top (This'd make a similar situation like my actual Thermaltake Core V71, but this one has 2 front 20cm 800RPM and the same at the top. They're blue LED tho, more on that later)
Would that be ok or with 2 top exhausts should be more than enough?
SECOND
The new tower would actually be all dark and... Well, that's not good, as i like to see what's inside...
I am looking for magnetic or easy to remove sticked LED STRIPS for the insides of my tower. There are a few conditions tho:
1. Must have Sonic Blue colour or closer to that
2. If the PC's turned off, so are the lights!!
3. Set up and forget
4. Mobo powered (No external/outside the case wall plug) if possible
Note that my ASUS BIOS is set so that all AURA stuff that comes from the mobo are turned off (else during the night i see the light through the eye lids and i can't focus on sleeping...)
Also, where would be an enough place for the strip to be at?. Just the top or better all over the case in a square?. I just don't want the flashy white dots to blind me out from the distance in some scenarios...
Thanks in advance!

PC is silent aswell and GPU is below 60c and CPU below 70c.
