I prefer AMD for the types of games I play, so im probably going to keep it. For the B660 Boards, im not getting a pc any time soon so I will probably use that
 
Review done today with a B660 board.

I'd wait three days from now and look at the i7 12700F reviews. That cpu will retail for right around $300. That will be the same time the B660 boards will be released. You should be able to get a decent B660 DDR4 board for right around $160.
B660 DDR4 board + i7 12700F locked cpu > AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

Not a fan of Hardware Unboxed but I'll admit I did take a bit of pleasure knowing it must have been killing this shill to do this review. If this review has the Intel cpu beating the 5800x by 5 fps you can bet the farm trusted sites such as Tom's Hardware, TPU and Guru3d will have that same i7 beating the 5800x by 7 - 10 fps.

They haven't arrived yet but they should be showing up any day now on sites such as Newegg, Amazon, Bestbuy, etc ...

Here's a few of those boards to have a look at.
