I just managed to upgrade from an i7-9700 to a 7800x3d. What should I play?

I've got 32GB RAM and an RTX 3080 I'm borrowing long term. Normally I just play Rocket League, some Deadlock, and good single player games (ie not formulaic yearly-released).

Any recommendations?

Beat me to it. Dwarf Fortress is always my first port of call when people seem to get mixed up with graphics, computing power, and gameplay.

DF:C is really good for it too, will bring a top tier pc to it's knees with all the heavy math it wants done.

When you say classic, you just mean the non-Steam version, right?

Does the steam version use multi threading? I thought one of the reasons why DF (OG, which I guess is what you mean by DF:C) was so intensive is it only used one core.

Looks like multithreading is still experimental in the current Steam version, and has to be manually turned on in d_init.txt.... Which feels weird. I was playing classic right up until the steam EA release, and it feels like New DF doesn't slog my pc as bad as classic. Same hardware.

I think simulation or generally CPU intensive games benefit the most, for example Anno 1800 or BeamNG Drive

Civ 6 should perform quite well on your new CPU.

Also strong recommend for Satisfactory.
