Hey everyone! I'm looking to give my PC a bit of a refresh since it's already 5 years old. Specifically, I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU to a 5070 or 5070 Ti. However, I'm aware that if I go for the 5070 Ti, I might also need to upgrade my PSU.
What do you all think? Is upgrading the GPU the best move for my setup? I primarily play single-player AAA games and have a budget between 500-800€. Here's what I currently have:
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Windforce
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
- Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus
- Corsair Vengeance 2x 8 GB
- Be Quiet! Pure Power 11, 80 PLUS Gold (600W)
- Seagate ST4000DM004 BarraCuda 4 TB
- Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB SSD
- 27-inch Dell S2719DGF monitor
- Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 Pro cooler
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

It might be a good idea to upgrade both your CPU and RAM alongside the GPU. Your current setup could benefit from a Ryzen 7 5800X3D to really utilize the new graphics power. Just keep in mind, if you're considering the 5070 Ti, you may need to invest more overall to make sure everything balances out! Plus, selling your old parts can help boost the budget a bit.
Definitely think about upgrading your PSU as well since it's getting a bit outdated. A 850W or even 1000W PSU would give you extra headroom, which is great for peace of mind. And yes, consider going for 32GB of RAM—either by adding 2x8GB sticks or replacing your current ones. It'll make a noticeable difference in performance!
