My 3070 Ti just broke, and I'm in the market for a new GPU. I'm willing to spend around 1000 euros. Considering my current build's specs, do you think I need to change my CPU or anything else? My setup includes an i7 12700KF at 3.6 GHz, a Z690 Aorus Elite motherboard, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM, a 2TB Samsung 970 Evo SSD, and a Be Quiet Straight Power 11 750W power supply. Just as a heads up, I game at 1440p.

Definitely check out the Radeon RX 6800 as well; it’s a solid competitor to the 3080. Just make sure whatever you pick fits your case and doesn’t run too hot!
First off, sorry about your 3070 Ti! For about 1000 euros, you can definitely get a solid upgrade. Given that you’re gaming at 1440p, I recommend looking at the RTX 3070 or maybe even the RTX 3080 if you can find one in your budget. Your CPU is more than capable of handling those cards, so no need to worry about upgrading it just yet!
Yeah, I agree! The RTX 3080 or even the AMD RX 6800 XT would be great options. Just make sure your PSU can handle it, but since you've got a 750W, you're good!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll make sure to keep temperatures in mind when selecting a card.
