I've got a pretty solid build with an i5-12600k CPU, a PRO B760-P DDR4 motherboard, a 4070 GPU, and a Samsung 980 SSD. I'm thinking about upgrading my PC, but I'm not really sure where to start. Should I upgrade anything at all? If so, what would be the best choice for an upgrade?

If your main focus is gaming, your GPU is usually the best upgrade path. However, the 4070 is already a solid choice. If you're looking for a significant performance boost, you'd be eyeing a hefty investment, around $1000 for an RTX 5080, which could double your ray tracing performance. But, if your games aren't lagging too much, it might be worth waiting a bit for new releases or updates.
One popular thought is to upgrade to an AM5 platform for future-proofing, but it depends on your needs. You might also consider giving it some time to see if Nvidia releases new models or variants that could offer better performance for your build.
Before deciding on an upgrade, think about what's bothering you with your current setup. Are you experiencing performance issues, like frame drops in games? If so, that might help narrow down your options.
