There's no downside to getting them below MSRP, but they run pretty hot since they draw a lot of power, so get an AIO or a premium aircooler. Something like a Phantom Spirit with Noctua Fans if you want to go air cooler. To give you an example: my 5600x aircooled by a Peerless Assassin 120, with a case that has 5 fans, 3 intake, 2 outtake, Phanteks P500a mesh case, with good proper airflow, averages at around 38-40c on idle.
A 9800x3d would need an AIO to reach similar numbers in a case of a similar construction and more fans than that.
Modern Intel CPU's are dogshit, don't even think about them anymore.
