I'm planning to buy an Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5070 12GB and I'm curious if my Ryzen 5 5600XT paired with an MSI B550-A Pro will bottleneck it. Do you think it's worth considering an upgrade to the Ryzen 5 7600X, or should I stick with what I have without spending more money?

It kind of depends on the game and your monitor resolution. If you're gaming at 4K, you should be fine. For 1440p, it varies by game. But at 1080p, yeah, you might hit some bottlenecks for sure.
Yeah, it probably will bottleneck it a bit, especially at lower resolutions where the CPU can limit performance.
Yes, but it's not a huge deal. The Ryzen 5600X/XT is decent but some modern games might push it a bit. Upgrading to a 7600X might not be worth it since it's only around 30% faster, and you'd have to invest in a new motherboard and RAM too.
I'm mostly gaming at 1080p, so that concerns me!
