Hey folks! I'm in the process of upgrading my old GTX 1660 Super and Ryzen 5 3600 setup. I'm planning to get the RTX 5070 Ti, but I'm concerned that my current CPU might bottleneck it, especially in CPU-intensive games or VR scenarios. Initially, I wanted to go for the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, but the prices are going up, and I don't expect them to drop in the near future since I plan to do my upgrade in a couple of months. So, I'm considering the Ryzen 7 5700X instead. My goal is to enhance overall performance, ensure smooth VR experiences, and have a setup that lasts for a few years without costing a fortune. Do you think the 5700X is a wise choice, or is there another AM4 option around the same price that you'd recommend? Thanks for your help!

The 5800X is slightly better than the 5700X and is actually cheaper in the US right now. It might be worth checking out since it could give you extra performance for the RTX 5070 Ti without breaking your budget.
I'm in a similar boat, currently using a Ryzen 5600X. I'm also planning to upgrade to avoid bottlenecking with the 5070 Ti. The Ryzen 5700X3D is the ultimate upgrade, but it is considerably more expensive where I live. I’ve also been thinking about whether the 5700X or 5800X is good enough for that GPU. I'm also curious about the 5070 Ti versus the RX 9070 XT—what made you lean towards the 5070 Ti?
The 5700X3D is already double the price of the 5700X here in Poland! I chose the 5070 Ti because I’ve always been loyal to Nvidia GPUs.
Yeah, but the wattage for the 5800X is almost double that of the 5700X, and in Poland, it tends to be pricier too.
