AMD Ryzen 7 3800X vs. 3700X: What's the Difference?

[ManOnFire]

So considering the price delta between 3800x and 3700x is $30 to $40 bucks, would you still not recommend the 3800x, if your goal is best bang without paying another $100+ for the 3900x?

Based on my studies, I like the 3800X because of that fairly low 30-40 dollar price delta. I keep hearing so much about the 3700X and its overclocking abilities, but when I went to buy my setup, there was a sale on at NewEgg that put the price between them at $20.00 difference if I got a certain ASUS Mainboard with it.
This was well worth it to me.

I replied to this post already, and I said: "Not a waste if you're happy with it. You only have to please yourself."

As it turns out, I ended up selling my 8700K system and bought into Ryzen too. What did I get?
Why, I got a 3800X, of course! I plan to run my two Vega-64 GPUs in it and I have a 360mm AlphaCool Watercooling Kit for the CPU.
If anyone is laughing at my choices, I'll get over it.

I sold my Vega 64 LC so I could get a 27" IPS G-sync 165Hz monitor, but I kept my 1080ti KiNGPiN
