Hey everyone! I'm currently putting together a gaming setup for around €1500 aimed at 1440p gaming. I've budgeted €525 for everything else in the build, which leaves me with €975 for the CPU and GPU. I've been hearing a lot about GPU bottlenecking at 1080p if the CPU isn't up to scratch, but for 1440p, I understand it's more GPU-intensive. Given that the 9070XT is priced at €799 and the 9070 at €689, I'm wondering whether to go for the 7600x3D at €359 or the 7500f at €169. Are there better combinations out there that might balance the CPU and GPU effectively? I'm open to suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

It really depends on the types of games you play. If you're into CPU-heavy games like esports titles or MMORPGs, having the 7600x3D could offer better performance thanks to its 3D cache, even if the GPU isn't as strong. It might help in achieving smoother gameplay at 1440p! What games do you play?
For sure! The games I usually play include Total War Warhammer 3, Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered, and a few others like COD Warzone 2. I guess CPU performance would matter more for those!
