Hey everyone! I just snagged a 5070 Ti for €620 on eBay, even though I wasn't planning on upgrading my setup just yet. Currently, I'm using a 5600X paired with a 3070. I'm mainly looking for better gaming performance since I rarely edit videos, and the 5600X has been doing fine for that. However, I've noticed that it struggles with heavily modded games and newer titles like BF6. I'm wondering if I should upgrade my CPU now or hold off for something like the rumored 9600X3D. Are there any leaks regarding upcoming CPU releases? Also, I'm looking for something priced around €300-350; what do you recommend?

It really depends on the games and settings you're using. For most situations, CPUs like the 5700X3D, 7500F, or even the 9600X would do just fine with the 5070 Ti.
If you've got the budget, I'd say buy a CPU now! Maybe consider the 5700X3D; it seems like a solid option.
I was hesitant because it seems a bit pricey at €300, but I’ll keep it on my radar. Thanks!
