Maybe I'm missing some important details, but isn't an eGPU still limited to throughput of the thunderbolt connection?

lol. I don't think I'd ever
It'd need to be a really pretty girl to get me in to that. lol
Seriously tho... The Finals

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won't be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

Unless you're getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.
On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I'd assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you're like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

Depends if you like starfield
-
Bethesda games need 5080?
-
I'm OK with 2D but draw the line at pixel-art. Pun not intended.
-
My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it's closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.

Wait for sales and you can spend half that. If you're willing to settle for anything less than top of the line, you can go even lower.
I picked up a 7900X3D under $450 CAD this summer. My Motherboard was under $200 CAD for an ITX board, and I got 32GB of 6000mHz RAM for $125 CAD. -
this failing isn't on you though. AAA games is not what it used to be, I feel like between 2008 to 2014 game companies have all progressed and transitioned into something they didn't use to be.
my $4k gaming PC at this point is a glorified FFXIV machine although, I do plan to play other things soon.

The 7900x3d isn't that great of a gaming CPU, you'd be better off with the single CCD 7800x3d.
But if you're going for high end why wouldn't you go for the 9800x3d/9950x3d? The only reason I picked the 7000 series was the lack of availability with the 9000 series x3d at the moment. And if you're getting 90000 series x870e offers a lot of features as standard over x670e.

The game is crazy, you don't need to even remotely care about Holo Live. It's a bullet heaven (mob hell), and each character has unique abilities and attacks.

If it's just for gaming, you really don't need the absolute top of the line in terms of CPU. I can't think of a game I've ever played that maxes out my CPU on all cores.
Unless you're also using it for CPU-specific and intensive work outside of gaming, you won't gain much from spending more money.

For the pixel art.
