I'm considering upgrading my graphics card from a 5070 XT to a 9070 XT. I'm using a Ryzen 9 5900X processor, an MSI 450 Tomahawk Max motherboard, and I have 32GB of G.SKILL Ripjaw DDR4 3200MHz RAM. My power supply is a Seasonic 750W 80+ Gold. My main concern is whether my current components will bottleneck the performance of the new card, especially the motherboard compatibility. Any insights would be appreciated!

You should be good to go! The 5900X and the 9070 XT should work well together, especially at higher resolutions. Just keep in mind that at 1080p, the CPU might limit the GPU's performance a bit, but for 1440p, you should see fantastic results.
This setup will work perfectly fine! Just double-check the compatibility of the card with your motherboard, but the combination you've listed should provide you with excellent performance.
Your system looks solid! The motherboard does support PCIe Gen 3, but that shouldn't be a huge issue since the 9070 XT is designed to work with x16 bus. Just remember, if you're gaming at 1080p, the 5900X might hold you back slightly compared to playing at higher resolutions. I recommend gaming at 1440p for the best experience.
It really depends on the games you play and your settings. If you're eyeing AAA titles and playing with high settings, you should be fine overall. High resolutions and V sync will favor the GPU, but just be aware that the CPU won't keep up as well at 1080p if you're going for high FPS.
