I'm looking to upgrade my gaming rig before prices start rising, and I want to stick with my AM4 platform on an MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard. Currently, I'm considering upgrading my CPU from a Ryzen 2600X to a 5700X. The tricky part is choosing the right GPU. I'm using a 650W power supply and currently have a 1070 Ti. I was planning to buy a 5070, which costs around 700-800€ (650€ for smaller form factor versions). However, I wonder if I can achieve similar performance for the next 5-6 years with the 5070 Ti at about 1000€, which might require a new power supply. I don't usually play AAA games, but I game at 2K resolution. Is the 5070 Ti worth the investment?

I recently picked up a B580 with 12GB of VRAM for 270€. If you're focused on value, don't overlook mid-range options that might give you great performance without breaking the bank!
The price for a 5070 Ti seems steep. If you're seeing a 9070 XT for around 750€, that might be a much better deal and offer similar or even better performance. It’s always worth comparing options before deciding!
Yeah, keep in mind that if you’re looking at the 5070 or above, you'll likely need at least a 750W PSU. Your current 650W might not cut it, especially if you want stable performance.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check local prices for the 9070 XT.
