I'm considering upgrading to a 5090 GPU and pairing it with a 4K 240 Hz monitor that supports DisplayPort 2.1. I'm curious if my current setup can accommodate the 5090 without needing any major upgrades aside from potentially replacing my power supply. I want to know if it will work seamlessly with my existing parts, which specific model of the 5090 I should choose, and what power supply would be best. Here are my current specs: CPU: i7-12700K, GPU: Aorus 2080 Super WB, Motherboard: Asus ROG Z690-F Gaming WiFi, RAM: A-Data Lancer 16GB 6000 MHz (x2), SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, Power Supply: Seasonic 750W Gold, Case: Lian Li Lancool Mesh II C.

It's great to hear you're going for a 5090! Your current PSU might not be enough depending on the models. Look into getting a high-quality 1200W. And while your current i7-12700K is decent, it wouldn’t hurt to upgrade to the 14900K to fully leverage the power of that GPU.
Honestly, since you're investing around $5,000 on the GPU and monitor, I’d recommend upgrading your CPU too. A 14900K would be a solid choice, and you can drop it in with just a BIOS update. For the power supply, you can manage with a high-quality 1000W unit, but I’d go for a 1200W just to be safe.
