I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, but I want to know if I can keep the rest of my current setup. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-12700KF
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z690-P WiFi D4
- RAM: 64 GB DDR4-2400 (4 x 16 GB)
- My goal is to achieve 4K OLED gaming at up to 240 Hz.
I might need a new case and power supply, but will my current setup work with the new GPU?

You can definitely keep your current setup, but keep in mind that you'll want a robust PSU and good case airflow. Just so you know, the i7-12700KF might not let you fully utilize the 5090's power, especially at 4K. Honestly, if you’re paying retail for a 5090, it might be a bit steep—consider that for the same price, you could upgrade your entire platform and grab a 5080, with a good chunk of change left over!
Isn't a 5080 plus a full platform also kind of a bad deal? The 5090 is the top GPU right now, plus it can handle future games better.
