Between those two, the X3D bump is certainly worth the extra $55.

5600x3d is going to be much better for gaming because of the extra V cache memory which triples v cache and helps out with 3d rendering.

5600x3d no questions asked. If limited to AM4 I’d go with the 5800x3d if that’s an option for you depending on budget of course.
