For example, 1080p 60hz this GPU is overkill, 4k 120hz+ even with a 5090 a lot of modern games will be GPU bound. 1080p 240hz+ is where CPU matters most.
You can also upgrade your CPU to a 5800X3D for $200, and that would eliminate virtually any CPU bottleneck.
And just as an aside, most people place way too low a priority on monitor. Unless you have poor vision, if you're running anything less than 1440p 120hz that should be your first upgrade. Night and day difference in clarity and smoothness. If you're getting this video card I would go 4k 120hz+ as it can handle all older games and almost all newer games at 4k (all newer games at 4k if you use FSR).

Have a 2070 Super and Zen 3600 and still getting what I want but have some money saved up and would like a new build, my last one ever tbh
If you want to play 1440p/ultra on NEW games this card would be a good choice.
A 7800x doesn't exist. Do you mean X3D? That would also be overkill even if you're looking to run older games at very high refresh rates.
RAM prices are insane right now, so if you actually are going to play newer games or you're trying to max out some of your older ones I would recommend just upgrading your current system. This video card, and a 5800X3D if you're trying to do high refresh or cache dependent games like Factorio.

Yeah, I was looking at my specs and what my FPS and stuff were for all the games I play and I think with a 2070 Super, Zen 3600 and 16 GB RAM, I am set for a good while. Hogwarts is the only game I wanted to try that was considered new and my rig can run it ok I think.

That said, the 9070 XT are more power efficient than the 6000 series and should offer a decent gain from a 6800 XT.

I bought this card as an upgrade when I built a new AM5 system. I also own a 6800XT and a 6700XT, and yes this card is a worthy upgrade. I play fast paced action games like Darktide on a 32" Dell QHD monitor. No complaints!!
