Hi everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and I'd appreciate your insights. Here's what my current setup looks like: I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS Elite V2 motherboard, a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU (but I'm upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700X soon), 32GB of Corsair RAM, a Thermaltake TR2 700W PSU, and a Deepcool Macube 310 case. I'm using a Samsung Odyssey G4 27" FHD 240Hz monitor for gaming. I'm deciding between the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Eagle Ice 12GB and the Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Solid OC 12GB. I primarily game at 1080p, playing CSGO, PoE2, E-Football, and I'm looking forward to GTA VI when it drops. My main questions are: will either of these GPUs be bottlenecked by my new CPU and is my current PSU up to the task or does it need an upgrade? Thanks for your help!

I'd suggest going for the cheaper option since their performance is quite similar. Just a heads up, though, your PSU isn't the best quality around, so be mindful of that.
Thanks! Do you really think the PSU could cause problems? I was planning to upgrade it after getting the GPU unless it poses a real risk.
