I'm trying to decide between the 7500F at $140 and the 9600X at $165 for my new PC build that includes a 5070 GPU. Is the extra $25 for the 9600X really worth it?

It really depends on where you're buying. If you can grab the 9600X from a local store and wait longer for the 7500F from AliExpress, I’d say go with the 9600X. It might save you some hassle down the line.
For sure, the 9600X is faster and has integrated graphics, which is a lifesaver if you ever need to troubleshoot or if your GPU fails. It's also handy for basic tasks if you need that backup.
Yeah, getting it locally is a big plus. Always good to have something quick and reliable!
