Hey everyone! I built my PC back around 2015-2016, and here's what I currently have:
- Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Extreme7+
- CPU: Intel Core i7-6700
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB
- PSU: EVGA 850W 80 PLUS GOLD
- GPU: Considering a 5070 Ti or a 4070 Super
I have two 27" monitors at 1440p and I'm looking to buy a third monitor (34" or larger) that's 4K or QHD, preferably IPS and good quality. I mainly want to play games on that big monitor at high settings, while using the other two for browsing or watching videos.
My question is, will a 5070 Ti support this set-up without being too expensive, and is my motherboard compatible with newer GPUs? Any suggestions on monitors or GPUs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It really depends on the specific games you're looking to play and what you consider 'highest settings.' If you're not using ray tracing, a 5070 Ti should perform well. But if you want to use RT or play games like 'God of War Ragnarok' or 'GTA 6' on high settings, you might want to consider a more powerful GPU. Just check out some benchmarks to get a better idea!
If you're into more graphic-intensive games, you might really notice a difference with a stronger GPU. Games with ray tracing can take a hit on performance, so that’s something to keep in mind.
