So question, is it worth getting a 5800x3D from a 5600x? I got a 7900xtx but the cpu is crippling its potential. Or should I just wait to upgrade to am5 down the line?

depends on if you really want DDR5, and how much you are going to spend on a 5800X3D.

I have a 7800XT and the 5600X is hurting its perf in CPU bound games like Warzone and I'm planning to get either the 5800X3D or the 5700X3D if its a wider release.

It might be better to upgrade to AM5 all at once. Since even a 7700X keeps up with the 5800X3D, you could just upgrade to AM5 when you've saved up the money. Ryzen 8000 might be a good option, since it'll be 2nd gen AM5 and naturally more mature.

imho, sell the 5600x and get a 5800x3d. That's a 200$ upgrade. Going AM5 means spending at least 450-500$ and DDR6 sticks are expected to drop by 2026. Skip DDR5 entirely.
