I built my PC back in 2018 with a 1080Ti, which was a fantastic setup. However, I recently decided to upgrade to a 5070 without changing anything else. Now, I'm looking for advice on a solid build that will complement the 5070. I'm not including peripherals in this, just the PC itself. I would love suggestions for the entire system while keeping in mind that I want to avoid any major bottlenecks. I don't have a strict budget in mind, but I hope to build something decent without going overboard since I'm not aiming for the highest-end components.

The best build hinges on a few key factors like your budget, what games you plan to play (like Battlefield 6, which is awesome), and the resolution you're eyeing (1440 seems solid). Please share your current setup for a tailored recommendation! If you're aiming high, sure, a 9980X with 256GB of DDR5 would be great but likely way more than you need.
I’d suggest going for an AM5 motherboard paired with either a Ryzen 7600(X), 9600X, or 7800X3D, depending on what you can find and what fits your budget. Aim for 32GB of RAM and a 2TB NVMe for storage. You might also want to consider upgrading your PSU if needed.
Thanks for the tips! I've added more details per your suggestion—this is super helpful!
I get what you're saying! I've updated my post to include that I'm looking towards Battlefield 6. Thanks for the advice!
