I'm currently using a pretty solid setup with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, an RTX 3060 Ti GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and other decent components. I'm considering whether upgrading to a 5070 GPU is a smart move with my current build. Some folks have suggested that it might be better to start fresh with a new build, possibly around the 5070 or even the 5070 Ti. I'm leaning towards the cheaper option of just upgrading, but I'd love some advice on what's worth it in the long run!

If you're looking at a 5070, you might want to try it out with your current setup before making any big decisions. You can see if your CPU bottlenecks during gameplay. If you're into tinkering and upgrading, it's fun to spread things out rather than doing it all at once!
I just got my hands on a 5070, paired with a 10700K. Sure, there might be some bottlenecking, but it hasn't hurt my performance. I say go for it! Test the GPU with what you've got, and if it doesn't meet your expectations, then you can upgrade further.
Totally agree! Sometimes it's best to try it out first rather than jumping into a complete rebuild.
