I'm looking for advice on which CPU would be the best match for my 5070 Ti graphics card. I primarily game at 1080p and I'm not into video editing. I've been considering AMD CPUs because I've heard they offer good performance and energy efficiency compared to Intel. What do you think would work best for my setup?

Honestly, if you’re getting a 5070 Ti, why not think about upgrading to a 1440p monitor? It could really enhance your gaming experience!
For games like CS at 1080p, I’d recommend the 9800X3D. It’ll be powerful enough to last you for years and should handle future AAA titles pretty well.
The 7800X3D is a solid choice! It's a powerhouse for gaming and will pair nicely with your 5070 Ti, especially if you aim for high frame rates in 1080p.
Just a heads-up, the 5070 Ti is actually overkill for 1080p gaming. You might want to consider if that’s necessary for your needs!
I want to run Battlefield 6 at over 144fps, which is why I prefer 1080p. But I might think about the monitor upgrade.
Here’s a few options ranked by budget: 7500F, then 7600(x), and 9600x, leading up to the 7800X3D at the higher end. All are great performers, especially for gaming at 1080p, so just check what fits your budget best!
Thanks for the options! I really appreciate it. Any particular reason you think the 7600(x) is so similar to the 9600x?
I’ve always played at 1080p and stuck to games like CS. Is the difference that noticeable? I've never played at 1440p.
