I'm planning to upgrade to a 5070ti and currently have a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 650W power supply unit (PSU). I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to upgrade to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, especially to ensure optimal performance at 4K resolution since I just got a 4K monitor.

650W could work if you undervolt the GPU, but you'll need to check the specific requirements of the 5070ti model you get. Some models need more PCIe cables, and if your PSU only has one, that won't work at all.
It really depends on the games you're playing and the resolution you aim for. Your Ryzen 5 5600 might hold you back slightly in some cases, but overall it should be fine for now. Just keep an eye on the performance in those demanding titles.
If you're looking to push the limits, upgrading to a CPU like the 5700x3d could enhance your performance. Also, if your memory speed is only 2666 MT/s, it might be a good idea to upgrade it for better performance. And definitely consider a 750W or even 850W PSU for safety.
Yes, you might still experience some bottlenecks with your setup, particularly with the PSU. A 650W PSU could be a bit low for the 5070ti, especially depending on its power requirements. It's definitely something to consider upgrading.
