Lol what?? 5800X3D was like $250 when I bought mine. I wouldn't say it was cheap but its defintely not a "money is no issue" kind of number.
Edit: alright rereading your comment, you were probably talking about people who want to buy a 5800X3D right now with today's price, and not just anyone who was ever in the market for 5800X3D-level CPUs
$250 is a steal but i've not seen it below $500 which is a lot to spend on a cpu.
I think I must have got it on sale or a very low point. Definitely was a nice upgrade! I had been non-seriously looking at 5950X or 5900XT as a sidegrade but I can't really justify that cost for something that is not a substantial upgrade, and now they seem to be totally out of stock anywhere I look. Oh well!
