I'm looking for some guidance on which GPU and CPU combo to choose. My options are the 9070 XT with a 7800X3D or the 7900 XTX with a 7600X3D. I'm also curious if the performance difference between the 7800X3D and 7600X3D justifies spending an extra $100. My budget is fairly tight at $2100, which includes taxes and fees, so I'm also using Micro Center for some parts. Here's my build on PCPartPicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pfdF9C.

Both combinations are solid! If you're gaming at 1440p, the 7900 XTX will give you a slightly better overall performance. However, the 9070 XT excels in ray tracing and upscaling. So, if ray tracing matters to you, that might be the way to go. If not, saving money with the 9070 XT could work out well for you.
Since there's not a huge performance difference, I'm leaning toward the 9070 XT to save some cash.
