I built my PC about a year ago and I'm currently using a 4060, which has served me well. I'm considering an upgrade to either a 5070 or a 5070 Ti. Do you think my Ryzen 5 5600X can handle a 5070 Ti, or should I stick with the regular 5070 to save some cash for a future CPU upgrade? Just to clarify, I meant the 5070, not the 5060 in my original post. Thanks!

It really depends on the games you're playing and your resolution. The Ryzen 5 5600X might bottleneck a 5070 or 5070 Ti, especially if you're pushing high frame rates. If you're set on getting a 5070 Ti for around $750, just remember to cap your frame rates to avoid stressing your CPU too much. If you're gaming at 1080p, a 5060 Ti or even a 9060 XT could be a better fit for now, just to save yourself some hassle down the line.
The 60-series cards like the 4060 are mainly budget options. If you're upgrading, go for the 5070 or the Ti version. It's a solid choice for performance if you want something better.
That makes sense! I’ll look into capping the frames for now, and I’ll keep an eye out for a nice CPU upgrade later. Thanks for the tip!
