Question CPU Upgrade recommendation - - - from 2700X to 5700X or 5800XT ?

Should I upgrade my CPU?

I am looking at a 5700X or 5800XT to just give my system a boost - currently have a 2700X in it.

Current Build:
Motherboard: B450M Bazooka (MSI) - BIOS Updated for 5000 series
CPU: 2700X
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MA410P TUF
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3000 (4x 8GB)
GPU: RTX 2070 (Zotac)
Case: Corsair iCUE 5000X with 10 fans

Newegg has a decent price on the 5700x (under 140) and 5800xt is ~200.

Your board supports the 5700X3D w the latest BETA BIOS.

If you're primarily gaming, and planning to keep the rig around for a while, that's the CPU you want.
Better 1% lows, and it will handle GPUs with ~4090 level performance too.

It's $180 @ Microcenter, or ~$230 @ Amazon currently.

Definitely 5700x3d if you want to play games.
It beats every AM4 CPU(except 5800x3d) in most games.
