I'm gearing up to build my first PC and I'm planning to use a 7800X3D processor paired with a 9070XT graphics card and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. My main gaming interests are Overwatch and Minecraft, but I'm also excited to finally dive into games like RDR2, Space Marines 2, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. I'm curious whether the 7800X3D might hold back the 9070XT from reaching its full potential, especially for Wilds.

Honestly, you can ignore any concerns about bottlenecking. The 7800X3D will work perfectly fine with the 9070XT for your gaming needs.
I have both the 9070XT and the 7800X3D, and during benchmarks, my GPU runs at 100% while the CPU remains underutilized. So no worries about performance limitations here!
For what it’s worth, I’ve got a 5800XT with my 9070 and I can confirm it doesn't bottleneck performance. Going for higher-end parts might yield a slight FPS boost (like 5-10%), but if it’s just a preference, you should weigh how much you care about those extra frames given the current crazy market.
