I just picked up a 5070ti and I'm curious about what the best CPU would be to match it. I'm not in a rush to buy, so I'm willing to wait for prices to drop. I've seen a lot of varied advice elsewhere and would love to get another perspective on this.

For gaming, the 9850X3D is a solid pick! Depending on your monitor and the games you play, you might even get away with using an older x3D model or a 9600X. Just consider what settings you'll be playing at.
If your goal is to game at high settings and maintain at least 60fps on a 1440p monitor, the 9850X3D is still a great option. Price isn't a huge concern right now since you're waiting for the right moment to buy. You'll likely see some price drops on top-tier CPUs in time.
It really depends on what you're using it for and your budget. If you're mainly gaming, the 7800X3D is an excellent choice, but keep in mind that it requires DDR5 RAM.
