Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide between two different setups for my rig and could really use some help! I'm looking at these options:
1. RTX 9070 XT 16GB GPU paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU
2. NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU with an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F CPU
I'm feeling pretty conflicted about which one to go for. Any advice or insights you can share?

I'd recommend going for the second option with the 5070 Ti and the Ryzen 5 7500F. The 5700X3D is great, but it's on an outdated platform. The 7500F can handle most games quite well, usually within 5-10% of what the 5700X3D offers, especially at higher resolutions. Plus, you'll have the option to upgrade to an X3D chip later without needing a complete overhaul of your system.
Just to add a bit of context, I play at 5120x1440p on a 49-inch ultrawide monitor. Does that change your recommendation?
