only downside is the ram is CL36 but based on my research, that seems good enough for gaming.
I'm wondering if I should get this to pair with the 5070ti or get the 9700x. Performance between the two CPUs seem similar

They often disable AV, Windows Updates, and as many various processes as possible.
In reality, your PC is often doing many background tasks that can kick off at random times.
Having extra cores to handle these events held ensure that your game that only uses 1 or 2 cores is not impacted by these outside events.
Benchmarking needs to disable all these outside events so that these outside events are not captured. Otherwise when Comparing CPU1 vs CPU2 running a benchmark suite you could get CPU1 (Running Suite and WIndows Update) vs CPU2 (Running Suite.) and the results would not really be comparable.
Real World...Having additional Cores will play a larger role than in benchmarks you see. Especially when dealing with "Dips" which are the key worry.
Likewise, happy with the build. Used as a light gaming machine.

I will re-use my GTX1080 card. I also have a M2 SSD.
I don't game.
Total was $549.40 shipped. Hard to beat.
