Hey everyone! I hope I'm not butchering my English too bad here. I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU and could really use your suggestions. Here's what I have right now: an MSI MAG B560M Mortar WiFi motherboard, an Intel Core i5 11600 CPU, an RTX 2060 GPU, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I game on a 1440p monitor. Would the 4070 be a solid choice for future upgrades, including the possibility of changing my motherboard and CPU later? Should I consider the 4070 Super instead, or would it be smarter to go with the 4060 since it's a lot cheaper? Really appreciate any advice you can give!

Honestly, all those options are decent. Just make sure your PSU can handle whatever card you pick. The 4060 is fine if you're looking for a budget solution, but it's pretty limited in the long run. The 4070 is a solid upgrade—about 50% faster. The 4070 Super is even better! Plus, there's talk of the new 50 series cards like the 5060 Ti coming soon, so keep an eye out for those prices in a few months if you're not in a rush.
Yeah, but what about bottlenecking? I've heard that if the CPU isn't up to par, it can slow everything down by over 15% or something. Is that a big deal or what?
