I'm currently using a Ryzen 7 2700X that's been powering my PC since 2020, and I'm eager to upgrade. I was wondering if the MSI MSG Pro Carbon X-570 can handle a Ryzen 9 5900X smoothly.

Yes, the MSI MSG Pro Carbon X-570 will work well with the Ryzen 9 5900X! However, if gaming performance is a priority for you, consider looking into the Ryzen 7 5800X3D or 5700X3D. They have impressive 3D cache that really improves gaming. You might even find a used 5800X3D on eBay for a similar price as the 5900X.
The 5950X does offer slightly better performance and is only a few bucks more at times. While some users might suggest going for X3D CPUs, just keep in mind that they're a bit tricky to find without a steep markup.
Definitely, it will work fine! If you find a good deal, also check out the 5900XT, as it's similar to the 5950X but often at a lower price.
Oh, that's good to know! Would a 5900X3D bottleneck my 3060 Ti, though?
