I have a gaming PC that I built in 2016, featuring a GTX 1060 6GB OC and a Ryzen R5 1500x CPU. I'm considering upgrading to an RTX 5070 12GB, but I'm concerned that my current CPU may bottleneck the performance. I'd appreciate any advice on whether this upgrade is feasible or if I should also consider upgrading my CPU and other components. Thanks!

Yeah, with a CPU that old, you're definitely going to see some bottlenecking with a 5070. Those older Ryzen chips just can't keep up with the newer tech, especially for demanding games.
Any recommendations that’s not excessively expensive and would pair well with a 5070?
