Hey everyone! I'm about to get a 7900 XT in a couple of months, and I want to make sure I choose the right CPU. I'm considering the 7600X, but I'm worried it might bottleneck in demanding games at 1440p. I really don't want to upgrade my CPU again soon after building my PC. What do you all think?

The 7600X should be just fine for your setup. In fact, you can look at benchmarks comparing it to other CPUs—some sites have results that might be close to what you can expect with the 7900 XT.
No worries! The 7600X will handle 1440p and even 4k without much issue. You might notice a bottle neck at 1080p but otherwise you're good!
The 7600X is definitely a solid choice. I’m using the 5800X with my 7900 XT, and it runs great!
The 7600X or 9600X should work fine, especially if you're not playing super CPU-heavy games. Just go for the one that's cheaper! If you're curious, check out some CPU/GPU scaling videos from Hardware Unboxed to see how they perform together.
Have you thought about getting a 9070 instead? It's got similar performance and could be a better overall match for your setup. Though I get the pricing differences; that can definitely sway your decision.
