You're considering a Ryzen 7 3700X for your build. It offers more cores and potentially better performance right away, but it's pricier. Since you're mainly using it for gaming and schoolwork, weigh the extra cost against your needs. If performance gains aren't critical, the 5GHz 3070 might be a more cost-effective choice.

For 1440p the 3600 and 3070 work well. At 1080p you’ll probably face a major slowdown.

At 1080p with a Ryzen 5 3600, it won’t cause any bottleneck even with an 2080Ti (which is only slightly better than a 3070).

It seems to hinge on the amount of work more, similar to Cyberpunk versus CS:GO.

I usually enjoy multiplayer FPS titles such as Warzone or Apex and occasionally try single-player games.

i play apex too. if you play at higher settings no worries about bottleneck. Warzone is really cpu heavi. it is likely that 3700x would be bottleneck for 3070 in that title.

Yes, you should consider going 3600.

I agree. If you can afford 3700x, it's better to choose 5600x instead.
