I'm planning to upgrade my current setup, moving from a Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 2070 Super to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and RTX 5070. I've heard advice about updating the BIOS and I've got a new 750W power supply ready. Is there anything else I should consider or prepare for this upgrade? Also, how significant will the performance jump be once everything is set up?

Make sure you take off your CPU cooler gently; sometimes the old CPU can stick to it. Running a game briefly beforehand can loosen the thermal paste a little. Just a tip to help you out!
That's a great idea! I hadn’t thought about that.
