I'm currently using an RTX 3060 paired with an i5-10400F, alongside 32GB of DDR4 RAM on a PRIME Z490-P motherboard. I've had this setup for about three years, and I feel it's time to upgrade. I plan to keep my existing SSDs and 550W PSU while swapping out some parts. I wanted to ask if there's anything I'm overlooking, especially regarding the PSU since I'm realizing 550W might not be sufficient for what I'm aiming for.

If you're upgrading, think about going for a used Core i5-11600K with an RTX 4070. It could significantly boost your performance with minimal changes to your current setup.
Don't forget about your RAM - the speed may bottleneck your new GPU and CPU. Make sure to check the specifications to optimize your performance.
You're definitely going to need more power, especially if you're considering the 9070 XT. AMD suggests at least a 750W PSU for that card to ensure everything runs smoothly.
