I'm planning to build a new PC and the bottleneck calculator I used suggests that my Ryzen 7 9800X3D might be limiting performance with a 5070 Ti GPU. Is this something I should be concerned about, or are these two components a good match?

The 9800X3D is the best out there. If you think it's not enough, good luck finding something better! You're totally set with this build.
Honestly, ignore those bottleneck calculators. The 9800X3D is one of the top gaming CPUs out there, so you’re good with that combo!
1. Stop using those calculators. 2. This CPU is literally the best available right now. Even if it did show a bottleneck, there's nothing faster out there to upgrade to anyway.
There's no way any consumer GPU, including the 5070 Ti, can be held back by the 9800X3D during gaming. It's a solid pairing without a doubt!
Forget what the calculators say. Bottlenecking is more complex than just a single number. It can change depending on the game and resolution you’re playing. You’ll be fine with your build!
Exactly! My buddy has that setup and it's gaming beautifully. No bottlenecks here.
