Hi there! I need some help figuring out how to upgrade my gaming PC. I've got a budget of around $300 and I'm not sure where to focus my investment. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070-Ti
- SSD: Adata Premier SP550 120GB
- SSD: NVMe Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 512GB
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x16GB
- Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z490-A
I'm aiming for better performance with 1440p gaming since my UserBenchmarks show I'm doing well in other areas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Upgrading to a 2TB NVMe SSD would be a solid choice for about $200-250. Your current SSD space is definitely lacking, which can affect load times and overall performance. Your system seems capable of 1440p gaming, so improving storage could really help! But if you're feeling adventurous, you could consider swapping your GPU for a 5070ti and selling the 4070ti, though that might not give you a huge performance boost.

Would upgrading the CPU to a 9600x provide a significant performance increase?
