I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup and I'm debating between getting the 9070XT paired with a 7800X3D or going for a 5070Ti with a 7600X3D. I play a mix of games like Helldivers 2 and Elden Ring, and I'm also interested in diving into titles like Cyberpunk, God of War, and Doom. I found both options bundled at Microcenter, and I want to make the best choice. Which setup would give me better performance?

Honestly, the 9070XT paired with the 7800X3D is a pretty clear choice here. You're getting solid performance with a great CPU that should keep you gaming for a while without needing an upgrade.
I'd suggest going with the 9070XT and 7800X3D combo. While the 7600X3D and 5070Ti might be an option, the extra cores in the 7800X3D will help with future games. Plus, the performance difference isn't massive between the GPUs, but having a better CPU is more critical for longevity.
If you're looking to save some cash, grab the 7600X3D with the 5070Ti. The 5070Ti has slightly better performance in some areas and is more future-proof for ray tracing. Just keep in mind, newer games are getting heavy on CPU usage, so that 8-core 7800X3D might be worth considering if you can swing it.
Totally agree. It seems like more games are leaning towards needing a strong CPU, and the 7800X3D will give you a solid foundation for years to come.
