Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC and was wondering if the Ryzen 5 7600 paired with an RTX 5070 is a good combo. I've checked some bottleneck calculators, but they give me mixed results—one says 0% bottleneck while another shows 30% bottleneck. I'm quite new to this, so I'm a bit confused. Here's a link to my build for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FdsdwY.

I would recommend looking into the Ryzen 5 9600X instead. It's only a bit more expensive but provides better performance and heat management. Plus, it pairs nicely with the RTX 5070. Oh, and those Corsair fans you've added? Maybe skip them, the prices are wild!
Totally agree about the 9600X. It's a great option for gaming!
Bottleneck calculators are generally not very accurate. For your setup, the Ryzen 5 7600 with RTX 5070 is solid, and upgrading later shouldn't be a problem. Just be mindful of the cost and balance your build well!
Thanks for confirming that! Good to know I won't run into issues.
Prices for GPUs are all over the place right now. The RTX 5070 is decent, but the current pricing context makes it seem less appealing. Just make sure you're comfortable with the spend and always look for deals!
Yeah, everything feels overpriced right now! Thanks for the input.
Just a heads-up, the performance difference between the 7500F and 9600X is pretty minimal, but you'll get better efficiency with the 9600X. If you're on a tight budget, though, the 7600 isn't a bad choice at all.
Honestly, bottleneck calculators aren't always reliable. The Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 5070 should work well together without any major issues. If you're looking to upgrade in the future, keep in mind that any newer GPU might need a CPU upgrade too, but for now, you're set!
Thanks for the reassurance! I was worried I might pick the wrong parts.
No problem! Just make sure to check compatibility with your chosen motherboard.
Got it! Appreciate the heads up on the fans.
