Which AM5 CPU's would you pair with a 7900XT level card?

Pretty self explanatory, like a few suggestions for an AM5 build around a 7900XT, or 9070XT (I know they're not out yet, but it soudns like they're around this kinda tier).

I play at 3440x1400.

Thanks.

When I built my son's PC with a 7900XT I paired it with a 7800X3D. So I would pair it with a 78003D or a 9800X3D. But any AM5 CPU will be fine with it, it all comes down to what are you going to use your PC for?

It's for gaming, but I'm only at the speculating stage at the moment, need to get a rough Idea of what I want to buy.

I'm absolutely not spending £550 on a CPU.

For refernce i'm running a 5700x and a 7800xt right now, so I wouldnlt step down to 6 cores.

It seems to be bottlenecking the 7800xt, not so much that i'm all that bothered tbh. But does that sound right?

In any case it does seem like something mid-rangish with 8 cores would be the way to down the line with a stronger card on AM5 alternatively I might just ride it out for 2-3 more years as is, it's not as if I have a set up that I can't happliy play games on, I did find my 6700xt wasn't enough for 4k, so I went 34" UW OLED at the stated res instead. I was going to hang with the 6700xt and then buy a much better card for 4K, but then I realised that really the issue was 4K. It was really playing at 4K, there's a definite upgrade on1440p, but 4K IPS isn't a better experience than OLED 1440p IMO.

It might just be that my original thought to wait until AM6 was my best bet all along.
