I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor and just bought an NVIDIA 5070 Ti to replace my previous GPU. I also have a 4070 Super, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 750W PSU. Given my current setup, is my CPU okay for 4K gaming, or are there any obvious upgrades I should consider?

Upgrading to a 5900X would definitely pair well with your 5070 Ti. However, I'd say don't rush it unless you really need those extra cores. If budget's tight, a 5800X or 5700X3D is a solid option too if you're looking to boost performance.
The 3900X might bottleneck your 5070 Ti, even at 4K where the GPU usually takes the lead. You might want to look into a 5700X3D or 5800X3D if you can find them at a decent price. I upgraded from a 3900X for gaming, and it helped a lot!
If your new 5070 Ti has 16GB of RAM, then you should be fine for gaming. You might need to adjust some settings for better FPS, though. Don't forget to check out NVIDIA Profile Inspector to make sure DLSS is enabled; I love using it!
Totally agree! The 5070 Ti is great with that amount of VRAM. The 3900X isn't the latest for gaming, but it can still handle most games without too much issue.
