I'm in a bit of a dilemma with my PC build. Right now, I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D but no GPU. I'm considering getting a 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM. Alternatively, I could sell my current CPU, buy a 7900X, and pair it with a 9070XT instead. Which option do you think would be better?

If you're thinking about selling your CPU and picking up a cheaper one, the 9600X might be a better choice. It'll perform quite similarly to the 7900X in gaming but at a lower cost. Just remember, your choice should also depend on the types of games you play. Are you into competitive games and prefer higher FPS on lower settings, or do you enjoy slower-paced games where graphics quality matters more?
I primarily play games with high to ultra graphics settings aiming for 120-180 FPS, so visuals are key for me. However, I still want to maintain at least 120 FPS in my gameplay. I also dabble in some FPS games.
