Hey everyone! I've got a PC build that includes an Intel Core i5-13500, an Asus DUAL OC V2 GeForce RTX 4060 with 8 GB of VRAM, and 32GB of RAM (I'm planning to add another 64GB). I primarily use my PC for heavy VFX, video editing, and VR gaming. I'm looking for some advice on the best way to upgrade my setup to handle all of this more efficiently. Any suggestions on specific components or areas I should focus on? Thanks a lot!

Your PC setup looks solid! If I were to suggest an upgrade, I’d say consider upgrading the GPU. You might want to check your RAM usage, though—if Task Manager shows you regularly hitting 32GB, then it’s time to upgrade to 64GB (2x32GB). For graphics, a 5070 Ti could be a good fit for your needs, even though it's priced around £650. It should help boost your video editing and gaming performance significantly.
If you’re looking to push your setup further, you could also consider upgrading the CPU for more wattage. A 13600 could help, but I'd be cautious with the i7 due to some reliability issues. If you’re after serious multi-core performance, you might want to look into the 14700K, assuming your motherboard and cooling system can handle it. Overall, your build is pretty impressive, except for that low VRAM on the GPU.
I usually max out my 32GB while editing, so I definitely feel you there. Do you think the 5070 Ti is worth it for the price?
