I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 1600X with a GeForce RTX 4070, and I'm looking to upgrade my CPU while sticking with the AM4 socket. I play a lot of CS2, so I want to make sure I choose something that will complement my GPU well. I've noticed that many recommendations seem to be out of production and are now selling for double the MSRP. What CPU should I consider for my setup?

If you're able to find it at a good price, the Ryzen 5700X3D is fantastic, but it's typically hard to find and quite pricey. Otherwise, the 5600 or 5700 should suit your needs well and give you a good performance boost for CS2.
The Ryzen 5 5600 (including the 5600X or 5600XT) is a solid choice. It's still in production, and it offers great performance for gaming without breaking the bank.
Looking for a bargain? The Ryzen 5700X is on sale at AliExpress for around $100. Just make sure to check the shipping and ratings before you buy!
Definitely consider the Ryzen 5800X3D if you find it for a reasonable price. It's a bit more expensive, but it’s worth it if you want to future-proof your build.
