If your sole use is gaming then the extra cores of the 7950X3D will do you no good, as they will be parked (and thus not in use) during gaming. Save yourself some money and get the 7800X3D.

Now if you also need to use the processor for non-gaming applications that can utilize all 16 cores then the 7950X3D is a viable option.

Ryzen R7 5700X | B550 Gaming X | 2x16GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 7900XT
Ryzen R7 5700G | B550 Gaming X | 2x8GB G.Skill 4000 | Radeon Vega 8 IGP
Ryzen R5 5600 | B550 Gaming Edge | 4x8GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 6800XT

The X3D processors are proven better gaming performers. If that is your primary use then you can't go wrong with an X3D chip.
