I recently got a 6900xt graphics card, but I've noticed that my i7 9700k CPU seems to be bottlenecking its performance. After doing some research, it looks like the Ryzen 5600x is a popular recommendation for avoiding that bottleneck. I found a second-hand Ryzen 5600x on eBay for $90 and a compatible motherboard for $60. Do you think making the switch is worth it?

Honestly, it might not be worth it if you're already running an i7 9700k. It’s pretty decent, but if you're gaming at 1080p and seeing issues, it could also be the game or settings. What's your setup like? Any specific games where you're noticing the bottleneck?
I’d suggest sharing your full specs and the games you’re having trouble with. It could help us determine if the change is really necessary. But you may want to consider the value for money depending on your gaming performance needs.
