I'm transitioning from Intel to an AMD motherboard, specifically AM5. I'm looking for a good CPU that would work well with either an RX 6800 or a 6750 XT GPU. I want to avoid any bottlenecking and also keep the cost reasonable. Any suggestions?

I just installed a 7600X3D and it’s fantastic! I’ve seen major improvements in gaming performance.
If you want good value, the 7600X is a solid choice. It strikes a nice balance between price and performance.
You might also consider the 7500F, 7600, 7700, or even the 9600X if you’re on a budget. For top-tier options, the 7800X3D and 9800X3D are great but pricier.
However, using any X3D chip with an RX 6800 or 6750 XT might not be the best idea; you could end up overspending.
I think the 9600X is the best budget option. It's efficient and doesn’t consume much power.
