I'm looking to build a gaming rig with a 9070 (non-XT) and need a good CPU to pair with it for gaming at 1440P. I had a few options in mind like the 7800X3D, 9600X, or 9700X, but I feel like the 9800X3D might be way too much power for what I need. I want something that's budget-friendly without compromising performance too much. Any suggestions?

The 7600X could max out a 9070 in 95% of situations at 1440P, which is a solid choice if you're looking for something efficient and budget-friendly. Just keep in mind that there might be rare scenarios where you see some performance drops.
I just know I'm going to hit that 5% all the time! But I appreciate the suggestion—I'll definitely consider the 7600X.
