I'm trying to decide between the 5060/5060 Ti and the 5070 for my gaming setup. I plan to game at 1440p and would like to avoid changing my power supply if possible. Here are my current specs:
- Seasonic M12II-620 Evo Bronze (620W)
- Ryzen 5 5500
- 4 cooling fans
- 32GB of RAM (2 sticks)
- B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
I'm considering getting the 5070. Will it work with my current setup? Also, I have an RTX 2060 which uses a 6+2 pin connector; can I use a 16-pin connector from the power supply for the 5070?

The Ryzen 5 5500 will likely bottleneck the 5070, so it's important to think about upgrading to a faster CPU, like the 5600X or possibly even the 5800XT. They would handle the performance better and allow you to really take advantage of the 5070.
What kind of FPS difference can I expect with a CPU upgrade?
