Hey everyone! I recently got a 5070 for my PC, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with what to do next. I know I need to make some additional upgrades since my setup seems bottlenecked, but I'm not sure where to start. I want to keep everything cost-effective yet efficient. I've been hearing terms like "M.2" and "Gen5" thrown around, but they don't make much sense to me. Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: PRIME B550-Plus
- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x
- PSU: Corsair CV650
- RAM: 32GB
Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

What games are you into, and what’s your monitor like? Have you checked to see if you're really bottlenecked?
Your Ryzen 7 5800X should be a good match for the 5070, especially if you’re gaming at 1440p. Just enjoy your games!

My monitor is 1440p. I mainly play Battlefield and I'm looking to dive into Oblivion remaster and Expedition 33. I haven’t checked component utilization; that was just what a friend told me. Any specific software you'd recommend?
