Hey everyone! I'm pretty familiar with the basics of PC hardware, but I'm in need of some guidance when it comes to upgrading my GPU specifically. Here's my current build:
- GPU: RTX 3060
- CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X
- RAM: 32GB DDR5
- Motherboard: PRO B650M-A WIFI
- Monitor: 1440p, 165Hz, 32" curved
Overall, my build is solid, but the GPU is lacking. I've set aside a budget of $1,000 AUD for the upgrade. Initially, I considered the RTX 4070 SUPER but then looked at the RTX 5070, although the reviews have been quite mixed, leaving me unsure. I mostly play AAA titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V (with mods), PAYDAY, God of War, HITMAN, Spider-Man, and Borderlands. I also enjoy casual competitive games like Fortnite and Apex Legends. So, which GPU upgrade would you suggest for my setup and budget? Thanks in advance!

The RX 9070 is a solid choice for your price range, though it might be a bit over budget at around $1,030. It's currently one of the best options you can get right now!
Right now, you could pick up a 5070 TI for about $750-$900, depending on the model. Just keep in mind that prices can vary, especially in Australia!
I get that you're in Australia, but check this out: the cheapest 5070 Ti there is actually around $1,400! So you might want to reconsider that option.
