I'm trying to figure out whether a Ryzen 5 9600X pairs well with a 9070 (non-XT), or if I should consider upgrading to a Ryzen 7 7700X instead. Any thoughts on which combo is better?

It's really about cores versus architecture. For pure gaming, the difference won’t be huge, but if you're multitasking or streaming, the 7700X will give you a bit of an advantage.
The 7700X can be a bit faster in productivity and multi-core tasks, while the 9600X often matches or outperforms in gaming. Plus, the 9070 is good for gaming at 1440p and 4k on mid to high settings.
The Ryzen 5 9600X is better suited for gaming, while the Ryzen 7 7700X excels in multitasking due to having two additional cores. So pick based on your needs!
