I'm trying to decide between the 9700X and the 7800X3D for my setup, which includes a 9070 XT and I'm planning to game at 1440p. There's a €40 price difference between the two, and I want to know if that extra cost is worth it. I mostly play games like Darktide, Warframe, Clair Obscur, the Battlefield 6 beta (and the full release), Helldivers 2, The Finals, and various single-player titles. What are the performance differences I can expect?

If you're looking to save a bit, you might want to consider the 7700X instead. It pairs well with the 9070 XT and you won't notice a huge difference in performance compared to the 9700X or 7800X3D unless you really want those best 1% lows that the 7800X3D offers.
Totally agree with the last point! The 7800X3D is the clear winner for gaming. The 9700X just doesn’t keep up, and it performs pretty similarly to the older 9600X. You're really setting yourself up for a better gaming experience with the 7800X3D, especially in terms of 1% lows.
Honestly, for just €40 more, you should definitely go for the 7800X3D. It’s a much better option for gaming, especially when you consider how some of your games will take advantage of its larger L3 cache. It's worth it for improved performance and smoother frame rates, especially in those demanding titles.
