Hey everyone! I'm new to building PCs and I'm considering getting a 5070 GPU. I'm not sure if it will work well with my existing components. Here's what I currently have:
- CPU: Intel i7-9700k
- Motherboard: Aorus Z390 Elite
- PSU: Corsair HX 750W
Any advice on compatibility or if I need to upgrade anything else would be really helpful!

Honestly, getting the 5070 might not be the best choice for your setup. Your CPU could bottleneck its performance, so it might not give you the gaming experience you're looking for. A full upgrade of your motherboard along with the GPU could be a smarter move to future-proof your system.
Yeah, I totally agree! I was in a similar situation recently, and moving to a newer motherboard with a compatible CPU really made a difference in performance for me.
