I'm considering upgrading to a 9070 graphics card, which I found for $550. Is this a good deal, or should I hold off until Black Friday to see if the price drops? Also, if I pair it with a Ryzen 5800X and a 1440p monitor, will I run into any bottleneck issues?

If Black Friday is right around the corner, it might be worth waiting just to see if you can snag it for less. But if you really need a new GPU now, $550 is still a reasonable price.
Good to know about the MSRP! I had no idea that was the typical price. Thanks for clearing that up!
Honestly, I doubt the price will drop much since the 9070 is still fairly new, and $550 is actually its MSRP. You should be fine pairing it with the 5800X at 1440p; bottlenecking shouldn't be an issue. If you're worried, you can always upgrade the rest of your system later or return it if things don't work out.
