Depends

Competitive shooters at 1080p => 7800X3D/7700X

GPU Heavy SP games at 2K or 4K => 7700X/7900GRE

 

The vid below is interesting cause it also shows performance of those combos

Not really about "buying them together"... but it is about spending the money on what you're using it for and where you will actually benefit.

 

No point in paying for an i9 that will only do FPS gaming: it's a good productivity CPU as far an home-desktops go... but you will pay a relative fortune on the motherboard, PSU and cooling... but a Ryzen 5 7600X would be better for less than half the price (once you factor in stock cooler instead of a high spec AIO, 600W PSU and <$150 on the motherboard).

 

Likewise the 7900XTX/RTX4080S are great GPU's, ideally suited for 4K single player eye-candy feasts.... but again... no point if you're playing mostly CS2 / Fortnite and you've had to compromise on the CPU to get there (7800X3D all the way for that one.... and pair it with a 7700XT/7800X/RTX4070).
