Lots of solid rigs in here for sure, but isn't a 9800X3D overkill paired with a 9070 XT?

Oh yeah, 7800X3D or even a 9700X would be fine. But it will be easier to upgrade with a 9800X3D and hopefully the GPU market will be a lot better in the next generations. It's the best gaming CPU released in a long time.

That's a fair point, and the added benefit of AMD keeping socket-support for much longer is another good one. I have the 7800X3D and find that it matches the GPU well, if anything, the GPU is the bottleneck (especially at 4K).

FSR has also been improved by a mile, I recently watched an analysis of its improvements and it's a real generational leap in fidelity (unlike GPUs in and on themselves).
