Hey everyone! I'm trying to decide between the 7800X3D combo and the 9700X combo from Microcenter. Which one do you think would work better for me? Also, if I decide to upgrade, will my RTX 2060 Super be okay to use until the new 9060XT comes out or until the prices of the 16GB 5060 stabilize?

If the 9700X is cheaper, I’d go with that. Since you’re pairing it with a lower-end GPU and gaming at 1440p, the performance difference in most games will be minimal.
What about for strategy games like Crusader Kings 3? I’ve heard the 3D cache is beneficial, but is it worth the extra 100€?
