Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my GPU to an RTX 3070, and I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 3600 with my Asus B450-PRIME motherboard. I'm concerned about potential CPU bottlenecking with the new GPU, so I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU. Ideally, I'd like to stick with my current motherboard to save some money. What would be the best CPU upgrade that's compatible and can run at full speed? Is the Ryzen 5600X a good choice? Thanks!

I’d say go for either the 5600X or the 5700X! Both would work great with your setup.
You should definitely consider one of the 5000 series processors! For gaming, the X3D chips are fantastic if you can track one down. Just make sure your BIOS is updated to support the newer CPU.
