I've recently bought a PC from a friend at a great price. It has a 3070 graphics card, a 12400f CPU, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm really getting into PC gaming, and I'm thinking about asking my friend if he wants his PC back so I can build my own instead. He suggested that I could sell the GPU and buy a 5070 instead. Given the current RAM shortage, do you think it's worth upgrading the GPU, or should I go for a whole new build?

Before making a decision, think about how your current setup is performing with the games you love. What games are you playing, and at what resolution? If you’re gaming at 1080p, a 5070 might be held back by your CPU. Just something to consider!
I'm playing on a 1440p OLED monitor, and while the 3070 is decent, games like Call of Duty are only hitting around 100 fps on medium and low settings with DLSS.
