Hey folks, I've got an RTX 5070 paired with an i5 14400 and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. I'm curious to find out if I'm facing a CPU bottleneck in my system. What do you all think?

It really depends on what games you're playing. Some demand more CPU power, while others are more GPU-intensive. Generally speaking, your i5 14400 is fast enough to keep up with a 5070, especially for most current games.
For 1080p gaming, you should be fine. At 1440p, it might be a close call, but it’s unlikely to cause any significant issues.
The best way to check is by testing! Try lowering your graphics settings or resolution. If your FPS goes up, then you have a CPU bottleneck; if it stays the same, it’s likely your GPU.
Honestly, list the games you play. Some titles are heavy on the GPU, while others demand more from the CPU. It'll help narrow down whether you have a bottleneck or not.
