Right time to buy or wait?

Heya, atm got a setup waiting for the last part, which is the CPU. The question is, i could get the 9800x3d urrently for 569 euros or 7800x3d for for 512. Would this be a good time to get 1 of these (leaning towards 9800x3d with this price gap) or wait a bit for hopefully more of a price drop? Also a question regarding the am5 thermal grizzly contact sealing frames, are these worth getting or just an extra nice to have but not really needed? (Using corsair h150 elite cooler with rog strix b650e-f motherboard).

Better to wait a bit, AMD anmounced at CES that more are being made so supply should improve over time.
No X3D chip needs a contact frame. Complete waste of money.

Ahh yea just saw the new 9900x3d and 9950x3d comes out in march. So maybe can go for the 9900x3d for close to what 9800x3d goes for now or go for 9800x3d for cheaper due to new launches.
