akp831, As if buying an expensive CPU with more cores will keep you from bottlenecking the 5090. What you need is higher single-thread performance. The most cost-effective solution is still the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. At the end of the day, computer hardware is unbalanced, and CPUs don't get PCIe slots. There's an annoying size constraint.
