Processor AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
Motherboard Aorus X570 Elite
Cooling EK AIO 120 D-RGB
Memory Corsair Vengenace LPX 2x8GB @ 3000MHz
Video Card(s) Aorus GTX 1080 Ti
Storage 1x 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe, 2x 1TB hard drive, 1x 120 GB SSD
Display(s) Aorus FV43U
Case Corsair 110R
Audio Device(s) Sound Blaster Z Card, Sennheiser GSP 600, Razer Nommo
Power Supply be quiet! System Power 9 600W
Mouse Logitech G502 Lightspeed
Keyboard Logitech G915
VR HMD Oculus Quest 2
So I'm slowly piecing everything together for a new rig, and from looking around it seems like the QX6700 seems like a good choice from that time frame. Will it be a decent CPU for such a rig? And what other hardware should I pair with it?

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Sure. You are running games from presumably around that time, right? Why wouldnt it?

I think you should use it with a GTX 770 or a GTX 780-780 ti so you wouldn't have problems running some more recent games if you want to.
Probably 8 GB of DDR2-DDR3 ram(it depends on what motherboard do u want to use and how many dim slots it has) and you should be good enough for a XP Gaming Rig.

Yes, a QX6700 will do fine for XP gaming. Make sure to pair it with a solid GPU...

A Geforce GTX 670, 760 or 770 would be ideal for such a system.
