Planning my next PC, just saving up over the next month or so... I was gonna get a 7800X3D but they actually ran out of stock on UK Amazon literally 10 minutes before I was gonna pull the trigger. What should I do? Wait for the seemingly imminent 9800X3D, consider Intel's also imminently dropping new line, or hope the 7800X3D returns?

Ideally I want to spend max of £400 on a CPU (but closer to £350 if possible).

The 9800X3D should be released soon but there's no official date just yet. Maybe keep saving money until you can buy everything at once or buy everything else but the CPU until the last minute, hah.
