I'm getting back into PC building after a break and just purchased an RTX 5070 with 12GB of VRAM. I want to enjoy games like BF6 smoothly and was wondering what motherboard and CPU would pair well with my new GPU. My budget isn't super strict, but I don't want to go overboard either. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

For your motherboard, I'd recommend looking at the B850 chipset if it fits your budget; otherwise, a solid B650 will do just fine. Personally, I like MSI boards. As for your CPU, anything from the Ryzen 5 9600X and up should work perfectly with your RTX 5070. If you need more details or have questions, just let me know. Enjoy your gaming!
Just got my RTX 5070 Ti, and I have to say, it runs BF6 like a dream! I’m currently considering upgrading to the 9950X3D if there's a sale since I've hit a CPU bottleneck. Also, keep an eye on your RAM; that's going to be crucial as well.
You might want to consider the Ryzen 5 9600X; that's what I have alongside my RTX 5070 FE. I usually get around 120 FPS at 1440p with Ultra settings in BF6. Sometimes I run into a bit of a bottleneck in CPU-heavy titles, but if that's a concern, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D could be a better choice for more demanding games. Just a heads up!
If you're looking for something a bit more powerful, I'd suggest the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. It’s not the cheapest, but it’ll handle any CPU-intensive game well. For a more budget-friendly option, the Ryzen 5 7500F is a good compromise. For motherboards, I recommend any reputable B850 board—just steer clear of ASRock if you can.
