Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC since my RTX 2060 is starting to feel a bit outdated. I currently have a Thermaltake H200 case, a Corsair RMX 850W power supply, two SSDs, and one M.2 SSD. I've mapped out some upgrades, but I'm open to any suggestions or feedback! The prices for RAM and GPUs are pretty rough in Canada right now, and I'm trying to keep my budget between $2,000 and $2,500. Here's what I'm considering:
- RTX 5070
- AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- ASUS TUF Gaming B850-PLUS WiFi AMD AM5 B850 ATX Motherboard
- Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital ARGB Black CPU Air Cooler (if it fits in my case)

What’s your current setup? Are you using DDR4 memory with 32GB capacity? Just curious to get a sense of where you're starting from!
What games do you usually play? Also, which kind of M.2 SSD do you have? By the way, have you considered getting an X3D version of the CPU? It might be worth it for future-proofing, though it’s about $200 more.
I typically play AAA games at max settings at 1080p. I was looking at the X3D model since it's a bit pricier, but I want to make sure it's worth the investment. My M.2 is a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB.
My current PC has 16GB DDR3, I believe.
