I'm looking to upgrade my PC to handle 2K gaming better and would appreciate advice on the best components to focus on, particularly the graphics card and processor. Here's my current setup:
- Intel Core i5-12400F Processor
- GIGABYTE B760M GAMING X AX DDR4 Motherboard
- Palit Geforce RTX 3060 Ti Dual 8GB GDDR6X Graphics Card
- DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX GT BK Cooler
- DEEPCOOL PK650D 650W Power Supply (80+ Bronze)
- DEEPCOOL CK560 Case.

First, what’s your budget for the upgrade? If you can go for it, I recommend looking at something like the 5070 Ti or 9070 XT for GPUs, in that order. Those would definitely give you a solid boost for 2K gaming. For CPUs, consider the 13600K or 14600K. I’d focus on upgrading the GPU first since it plays a more critical role in gaming performance.
Do you think my power supply and motherboard will support the 5070 Ti and an i5 13600 KF?

I'm planning to spend about $1000 on upgrades.
