I'm looking to optimize my gaming setup for playing single-player games at 1440p with high settings, aiming for 60-120 fps. My friend suggested that I should go for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I'm wondering if that's a solid choice or if it might be overkill for what I need. What do you guys think?

Honestly, I think the 7800X3D might be overkill. I have a Ryzen 5 5600 with a 5070 and usually have CPU resources available, so a Ryzen 7600 should be more than enough for your needs.
If you're looking to save some cash, the 7600X or 9600X pair well with the 5070. The 7800X3D might be more powerful in CPU-bound scenarios but isn't necessary for your setup.
For AAA games, the Ryzen 7600 or 7700 would work just fine, especially if you're gaming at 1440p. They should provide a great experience without breaking the bank.
It really depends on how much you want to future-proof your build. If you can afford the 7800X3D without it straining your budget, go for it. If not, there are cheaper options like the R7 7700 or even the R5 7600X.
The 7800X3D is generally a solid CPU. It'll definitely perform well, but you should consider if you really need that power for 1440p gaming.
Thanks! Just trying to balance performance with budget.
