I'm building a PC using PCPartPicker and plan to make my purchase in two weeks. Currently, I've chosen an RX 9070 XT graphics card and a Ryzen 5 7500F processor. I'm wondering when I should prioritize my budget for the CPU. Is this current combo good enough, or should I spend more on a better CPU?

You really want to prioritize your CPU if you're going for high FPS at Full HD resolution. If that's your gaming goal, then bumping up the budget could be worth it.
It all comes down to the games you're playing and the resolution you're targeting. If you're gaming at 1440p, the Ryzen 5 should hold up just fine.
If you're looking for a bit more power, I’d suggest considering an upgrade to a Ryzen 5 9600X. It’s not a huge price jump, and you'll benefit from newer tech, better streaming support, and improved performance overall. It pairs really well with the RX 9070 XT!
