Hey everyone! I built my gaming rig back in 2020 and it's been running well. Here are the specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (not planning to upgrade)
- GPU: Currently have a 2060 Super, but I'm considering upgrading to either a 5070 or possibly a 9070 XT.
- Storage: 512 GB SSD (no change) and 1 TB HDD (no change)
- RAM: 32 GB (sticking with this)
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro
- PSU: Gigabyte B700H bronze.

I mainly play Overwatch 2 at 1440p 144hz and some older titles like Dying Light. I usually game for about one to two hours daily. Given that I'm looking to switch out my GPU, do you think I should also upgrade my power supply?

Honestly, I'd stick with the PSU for now. The 5000 series cards are good at undervolting, so your Gigabyte B700H should be sufficient. Just keep an eye on your system’s power draw once you upgrade the GPU.
