Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC, which I built during the pandemic back in 2019/2020. Here are my specs:
- **Case**: Deepcool Matrexx 55 (with 4 RGB fans)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte H470 ATX HD3
- **CPU**: Intel i5-10400F 10th Gen
- **CPU Cooler**: Infiniarc Ultra CPU Cooler 240ML ARGB
- **RAM**: Teamgroup Delta RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz
- **GPU**: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming OC (6GB, 3 fans)
- **M.2 SSD**: Teamgroup 256GB NVME PCIe M.2
- **HDD**: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
- **PSU**: Corsair CV Series 650W 80 Plus Bronze.
The RTX 2060 is holding me back in gaming, and I want to upgrade it. I'm eyeing options like the RTX 4070, 4080, or even the 4090, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my motherboard and power supply. I'm not super experienced with PC builds, so I'd appreciate any advice on what GPUs would work well without causing stress to my system. Just to clarify, money isn't really an issue; I just don't want to replace everything if I don't have to! Thanks!

The 5070 should work fine, though the 5070 Ti might be pushing it a bit. Just know that the CPU might bottleneck some performance. If you're considering a serious upgrade, it might be worth looking into a 10700K as well. Just be careful—anything above this could push your PSU to its limits!
I appreciate the heads-up! I’d prefer to stick with 4th generation GPUs since I’m wary of the 5th gen issues. If you know of any high-performance 4th gen cards that won't break the bank, let me know!
