I'm thinking about upgrading my old RX 6750XT since it's been giving me a lot of issues lately. I'm considering the RX 9070XT, as it seems to be available at a decent price. Before I make the jump, I want to know if this setup will lead to significant bottlenecking. What are your thoughts on the performance of the Ryzen 7 5700X with the RX 9070XT?

I've got the Ryzen 7 5700X with a 3080, and I recently noticed a bottleneck while playing Battlefield 2042. It really depends on your settings and the game you're playing.
I feel you! I'm eyeing upgrades for my setup too since my 2060 Ti is starting to fail. I'm planning to pick up a new GPU first and upgrade other parts gradually while sticking to a budget. Starting with a GPU seems like a solid plan while waiting for more parts!
You might see some bottlenecking at 1080p, but at 1440p, it varies by game. If you focus on enjoying gaming instead of the stats, you might find that it doesn't bother you too much at all.
While there's a chance of some bottlenecking, it really depends on the games you play and the settings. For AAA titles at ultra settings, especially at 1440p, the GPU might be the limiting factor. However, in competitive games at 1080p, the CPU will probably be the bottleneck. Just keep in mind that every PC has its limits, so something will always hold back total performance.
It really depends on your resolution. At 1080p, you might experience noticeable bottlenecking, but at 1440p, it should be less of an issue, and at 4K, it likely won't bottleneck at all. If you do hit limits, you can always upgrade your CPU in the future, so it's really not a major concern. For instance, my 5700X3D pairs well with my RX 9070 non-XT at 1440p.
