I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to pair with a 5070 Ti for gaming at 4K 120Hz, using a 65" LG C4 OLED. Initially, I was considering the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, but I've heard reports of stuttering in games like Fortnite and Marvel Rivals with this CPU. Is there a reason it might be causing these issues? If the 9600X isn't the right fit, what CPUs would you recommend for optimal gaming performance?

Honestly, I can't see the 9600X causing stuttering in Fortnite or Marvel Rivals; it might be more of a network issue than a hardware one. When gaming at 4K, your CPU's impact is less noticeable. If you're looking for benchmarks, the 9600X is only marginally behind the 9800X3D in 4K performance. But if you want an upgrade, the 7800X3D is great for gaming.
So, would the 7800X3D offer just a slight edge in performance, or are there other benefits like quicker load times?
