I'm trying to decide between two setups for gaming at 1440p: should I go with the 9700X paired with the 5070 Ti, or the 9800X3D with the 9070 XT? I'm primarily gaming but will do a little productivity work too. Would love to hear your thoughts on which option might give me better performance, and if you have other recommendations, I'm all ears!

Remember, a lot depends on the types of games you play. For AAA titles where you want to hit 60-120 FPS, the 9700X and 5070 Ti will serve you really well. But if you're into higher refresh rate games, then go for the 9800X3D with the 9070 XT. It's a much better CPU for that purpose!
I'd definitely say the 9800X3D and 9070 XT are the way to go! They provide better overall performance and are more future-proof, especially for the heavier gaming titles.
For smooth gaming at 1440p, I recommend the 9700X with the 5070 Ti. Unless you're really keen on those extra frames, this combo will give you a solid experience without breaking the bank.
Yeah, but if you’re gaming competitively, the 9800X3D just edges out in higher FPS, especially in fast-paced shooters.
