I'm trying to build a PC and I've narrowed down my CPU options while keeping an eye on my budget. Here are the CPUs I'm considering:
1. AMD R7 9700X
2. AMD R5 9600X
3. AMD R7 7700X
4. AMD R7 9700X (this one is a bit over my budget).
Can anyone recommend which one would be the best fit for my setup?

The R5 9600X should work just fine for your needs. It's a solid choice and should run well with your 5070 setup.
Man, I just missed out on a $110 12600KF deal, which would have been perfect for this build. Keep an eye out for deals like that!
The 7700X is definitely the best option if your cooling can handle it. If you're worried about that, then the 9600X is a good second choice.
I think you might want to go for the R7 7700X if you can afford it. It's a bit more money, but the 8 cores will give you some extra headroom for the future. I originally planned to get a 7700X myself, but I ended up stretching my budget for the 7800X3D instead.
