Question What CPU would you recommend pairing with an RTX 4070 Super ?

[Shawnio]

Hello,
Right now I am planning on doing a massive overhaul of my setup and have landed on getting a 4070 Super/7900 GRE. For now, up until Black Friday and possibly later I am on 1080p, and from what I understand is that at lower resolution you have a more likely chance for the CPU to bottleneck performance.
My hope with this build is that it will last me a couple of years at 1440p.

So my question is what CPU would you recommend for my GPU? So far I have heard that 7500f, 7600, 7600x would be good choices and if I really want to make sure my system will last 7800x3D but that is a bit out of my budget.
Any recs would be great!

P.S.: If you also want to give your two cents worth, I'm curious about people's opinion on 4070 S vs 7900 GRE. Most of the posts I've found comparing them are a few months old.
Thanks a bunch.

7600 is a decent cpu will pair greatly with 4070 super/ 7900 gre

7600x not a improved 7600.[ not worthy ]

But, if you want ease of mind that you will get no bottle neck at cpu heavy games----go with 7700

5800X3D. I had the same decision as you between the 4070S and the GRE. I ended up going with the 4070 Super because I thought DLSS and RT were just too big to give up. Couple months later I am strongly convinced I made the right choice.

In regards to main system upgrades then what are you currently using out of interest?

If buying new then I would personally go the b650 / ryzen 7600 / 6000mhz Ram route. Performance is decent and future upgradability should you need a bit more in the future at some stage.

The graphics card choice is more of a tough one as I am not sure there is a bad choice out of the two. Both are good cards with their own pros and cons. The deciding factor would really be price and what type of games you play / interest in ray tracing. I recently went with the 4070S for my own system but have put a 7900GRE and a 7800XT in friends systems and all 3 have been very good.

Well, you have a few options (depending on where you are in the world, some of this may not be available):

Ryzen 5 5600X3D / Ryzen 7 5700X3D / Ryzen 7 5800X3D (AM4 socket which is basically dead platform)
Ryzen 5 7600X3D / Ryzen 7 7800X3D (AM5 current platform)
Ryzen 5 7600 / Ryzen 7 7700

As other mention already, is usually a good idea to not waste money on the X parts, like the 7600X/7700X, unless you get it from some deal/discount.

AM5 platform will be more expensive than AM4, but you should be more "future proof" with it.

If you live near a Microcenter, they have a bundle deal on a 7600x3d.
