I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC and I'm unsure what to prioritize. Currently, my specs are: CPU: Intel i9-12900KF, RAM: 32GB DDR5, Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z690-P, GPU: EVGA RTX 3060 Ti, and I run my games at 1440p resolution. I recently upgraded my power supply to an 1100W gold-rated unit. My budget for upgrades is between $1200 and $2000. I've been wanting to improve my gaming experience because some new games like Crimson Desert and the Oblivion remaster aren't performing well on my current setup. Although I understand that some games are not greatly optimized, I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading my current GPU or if I should consider a complete replacement. Also, I've had a memory leak issue that got fixed, but my main concern now is dealing with my older GPU.

Your GPU is definitely the first thing you need to upgrade! With your 1440p resolution, the RTX 3060 Ti is starting to show its age. Aim for a GPU like the 9070XT for a substantial boost in performance.
Yeah, the 9070XT looks like a solid choice! Given your budget, it should fit in nicely.
