I'm currently rocking a 12700K CPU and I'm considering upgrading my GPU to a 9070 XT. Will this combo work well together, or should I also look into upgrading my CPU? I have a 1440p monitor, if that changes anything.

You're good with that setup! There's really no need to switch to a newer CPU right now. Especially with some fast 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM, you're in a great spot. Even if you want to play more demanding games, the 12700K still holds its own.
That combo should work great! The 12700K is a solid CPU, and you won't need to upgrade unless you're aiming for extreme performance. Since you're on a 1440p monitor, the 9070 XT will shine. It sounds like you're all set!
Awesome! I have a similar setup and it's been smooth sailing for me.
Phew, that's a relief! My RAM is DDR4, though, am I in trouble?
