I'm building a new PC and just picked up a 5060 Ti for $410 (or $450 after taxes). I'm considering getting the bundle from Microcenter that includes the 7600X3D. Is this a good choice for gaming at 1440p? What are other solid CPU options for this setup?

Honestly, anything from an i5-12400F or Ryzen 5 5600 and up would work great. While the 7600X3D is top-tier, you could save some cash and still get awesome performance. You could always upgrade your GPU later if you need to.
The 7600X3D is a solid pick for that configuration! It should handle 1440p gaming really well with your 5060 Ti. You're making a good decision with that combo.
Yeah, the i5-12400F is really good value! Just helps to keep options open for future upgrades.
