I'm planning to upgrade my rig with an RTX 4070 SUPER, but I'm unsure about the best CPU to pair it with. I mainly use my PC for gaming at 1440p and some light video editing. My budget for the CPU is around $400. I've been considering both Intel and AMD options. What's the sweet spot for performance without bottlenecking the GPU? Any specific recommendations or personal experiences you can share? Thanks in advance!
For $400, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best choice.
7800X3D or 7900X3D are both OK.
For Intel CPU, get the 14700K.
7800X3D.
The best choice is the 7800X3D, or you can wait for 9800X3D, it is expected to be released in late October.
9700X.
