It's always been my method when buying PCs, is to ensure the CPU is more powerful then the GPU. Might be just me but I feel a good CPU will always get the best out of your GPU and also allowing for an upgraded GPU down the line is necessary.
It's also handy for none gaming tasks. I could have gotten the i7 or a 7800X but figured a 9 series CPU with a 9 series GPU just sounds like a better fit.
AMD 9 series all use the AM5 sockets so everything is replaceable for future proofing.
