I'm looking to upgrade my ABS pre-built PC by swapping out my RTX 4070 for an RTX 4070 Ti. I know a bit about PCs but I'm not fully confident about component compatibility. Can I just install the 4070 Ti without any issues? If that's not the best upgrade, what card would you recommend instead? I'm planning to sell my current 4070 to fund the new purchase.

It really depends on your power supply unit (PSU). Make sure it's strong enough to support the extra power draw from the 4070 Ti and that it has the right connectors. Many pre-built systems come with lower-quality PSUs that might struggle with higher-end cards. Also, just a heads up, the performance boost from the 4070 to the 4070 Ti isn't huge, so if it’s not a free upgrade, I’d suggest waiting for a bigger leap in performance.
As long as your PSU has enough power and the new GPU fits in your case, you should be good to go! Just double-check the dimensions and connectors; sometimes, space can be tight with bigger cards. If your current card has two fans, make sure the new one is compatible in that regard too.
