Hey everyone! I'm experiencing some limitations with my current build when trying to play the latest AAA titles, so I'm considering an upgrade. Here's what I have right now: an i5-10400F CPU, a GIGABYTE B460M DS3H motherboard, an EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO ULTRA (6 GB), a BE QUIET PURE POWER 11 CM 600W PSU, and 16 GB of RAM. Does it make sense to upgrade to a 5070 GPU, or would that be a mistake? Thanks for your insights!

Upgrading to the 5070 is definitely a smart move! Just keep in mind that while the new GPU will give you a huge boost, your i5-10400F might limit you in scenarios where you’re aiming for very high frame rates, like beyond 150 fps.
The 5070 is a fantastic card! You should be able to run most games at 1440p with over 100 fps without any issues.
Thanks! So as long as I'm not trying to push super high fps, I should be fine? I guess the plan would be to upgrade the GPU first and then the CPU later when needed?
