I've put together my PC setup about 2.5 years ago while keeping to a budget, and now I'm looking for some upgrade recommendations. I'm thinking the graphics card is probably my main focus, but I'm uncertain about what options I should consider or if my current setup is compatible with upgrades. Here's what I have:
- **Memory**: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz
- **CPU Cooler**: Corsair iCUE H150i Elite CAPELLIX XT
- **Processor**: Intel Core i7-12700K
- **Motherboard**: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E
- **Storage**: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB Internal Gaming SSD
- **Power Supply**: White Corsair RM750x
- **Graphics Card**: XFX Speedster SWFT309 AMD Radeon RX 6700XT 12GB GDDR6
Any advice would be really appreciated!

You might want to consider upgrading your graphics card! Something like the Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB is really solid now and competes with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, plus it's priced under $1000. Make sure to check compatibility with your motherboard, though. Also, a PCIe Wi-Fi 7 adapter could improve your connectivity if you're interested.
Do you think my motherboard would need to be changed to support the 9070?
