I'm planning to build a new PC in about 20 days and I'm feeling a bit stuck on which CPU and GPU combo to get. I primarily want to play games at 1080p, but I'm looking to upgrade to 1440p in the future. What do you think is a better choice? The cost in my country is roughly the same, but the 7500F + RX 9070 is about $40 more expensive than 9600X + RX 9060XT.

If you're open to alternatives, consider the 7700 with RX 9070. It has more cores and cache than both, which might be beneficial for you!

Definitely opt for the 9070; it's the better performer. You can always upgrade your CPU later if you need to.

Go for the 7500F + RX 9070, no question! That setup is solid and will serve you well, especially with future upgrades in mind.

Honestly, either setup will work fine, but I'd choose the 7500F + RX 9070. The 9070 will give you about 30% better performance, which is great for 1440p gaming down the line.
