New to ultrawide 1440p need advise.

[MoobieWOW]

Hi guys, looking to upgrade my PC (6600k and 970) to a more modern system, Looking at getting a 3070 and a 3440 x 1440p screen. I know the GPU is more important for 1440p and above, Just wondering if this set up seems good enough.

CPU - AMD R7 3700x (or XT we see)
GPU - Gigabite 3070 OC
Mobo - B550 MSI
Ram - Team Group CAS 14 3600Mhz

Not sure how "Little" i can spend on CPU to still make it "good"

From the tests I would buy the 5600x instead as it beats the 3700x in almost every game except when all threads are fully loaded (which is not many).

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £299.99

Total: £308.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)
​

Otherwise its a solid 1440p rig.
