I'm building a gaming PC to pair with my 1440p 240Hz monitor and I'm planning to use an RTX 5070 GPU. I'm curious if the 7600X will be enough for this setup. If it's not suitable, I'd appreciate suggestions for a CPU that can at least handle 1440p at 240Hz, especially since I might upgrade my components in the future.

It really depends on what games you plan to play. I’m running a similar setup, and while the 7600X can handle 1440p pretty well, it often struggles to hit 200+ FPS in more demanding games like Battlefield 6. For less intense games, you should have no trouble getting high frame rates.
The 7600X is solid for 1440p, especially with the 5070. You'll get high frames in most games at maximum settings, but if you aim for those peak 240 FPS, you might hit some limits—especially with more demanding titles. If you’re serious about future-proofing, consider upgrading to at least a 7800X3D.
Yes, the 7600X should work well for 1440p gaming. However, if the price difference with the 9600X is minimal, you might want to opt for that one instead. It could offer some extra performance for not much more money.
