I'm considering using a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU with an ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU for gaming at 1440p. I scored the CPU for $120, which I thought was a steal, but I'm worried it might limit my GPU's performance due to a potential bottleneck. Should I be concerned about this combo when gaming at that resolution?

You shouldn't run into much of a bottleneck with that setup. The Ryzen 5 9600X is still a solid choice for gaming, especially at 1440p. The GPU will perform well without being held back much by the CPU.
That combo should work fine! The performance at 1440p won't be heavily impacted by the CPU, so you should enjoy good gaming sessions without worrying too much about bottlenecking.
If you're really concerned about performance, consider upgrading your monitor for a smoother experience. But honestly, I think you'll be more than fine with this setup.
