I'm considering upgrading my PC and could use some advice. Right now, I have an RTX 3060, 32 GB of RAM, and a Ryzen 9 3900X. I'm aiming for a better GPU, but I realize that I'd need to upgrade my case and power supply as well since my current case is too small and I only have a 600-watt PSU. I'm looking at GPUs in the price range of $500 to $750. I've noticed the 5070 is priced around $850 and the Radeon 9070 XT is about $650. Any recommendations?

I'd recommend going for the 9070 XT; it's faster and better overall. Also, if you're open to it, upgrading your CPU to something like the 5600X or 5800X3D could be a good move as well, as long as it's under $200.
What part of the world are you in? If you're in the U.S., the 5070 shouldn't be that high—I've seen the 5070 Ti listed for around $700 here. Definitely check prices across different retailers like Newegg or Best Buy.
I’m in the U.S. I've been checking Newegg, MSI, Asus, and Amazon.
If I go for the 5070 Ti, would it bottleneck with the CPU you just suggested?
