CPU GPU combos need advise 🛋️🛋️🛋️

I’m buying my first gaming PC and I’m kinda stuck on what combo makes the most sense.
Right now I’m looking at Ryzen 7 9800X3D RX9070XT
Im not with NVIDIA because of the insane price.
But now I’m wondering if it would be smarter to:
downgrade CPU to a 7800X3D
and use the extra money for a RTX 5070 Ti or maybe even a 5080
I’ll mostly be gaming at 1440p, maybe some 4K later.
Not really doing heavy productivity stuff.
From what I’ve seen:
9800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU
but it seems only around ~5–10% faster than the 7800X3D in most games
and at 1440p/4K the GPU matters way more anyway
Any kind of advice will help me please say anything!
