I'm currently using an RTX 5070 paired with a Ryzen 5 5600GT and I'm looking to upgrade to minimize any bottlenecking issues. I can't afford AM5 right now due to high prices, and I've heard the 5500X3D is available, but I'm wondering if it would work well. Would the 5500X3D be a good option considering the challenges in finding the 5700X3D?

I have a 5500X3D with an RX 9070 XT, and while it does create a bit of a bottleneck, it’s not terrible. My CPU rarely hits 100% while the GPU usually stays around 99%. You can still get 60+ fps in most games, just don’t expect to crank up the settings on CPU-heavy titles like Cyberpunk.
Do you think it would be less of a problem with a non-TI 5070? My current setup struggles with UE5 games and often only sees about 50% GPU usage.
