I'm considering upgrading my graphics card from an RTX 3070 to a 5070 Ti. My current setup includes an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor, a B450 motherboard, and a 650W power supply. I understand that I'll likely need to upgrade to a 750W PSU for the new GPU, but I'm curious if my motherboard and CPU will support the upgrade without causing significant bottlenecks.

Your motherboard and CPU can handle the RTX 5070 Ti, but keep in mind that the older Ryzen 7 3700X might not let the GPU shine to its full potential. This situation is often referred to as a bottleneck, where the CPU limits the overall performance of your setup.
What's a good CPU upgrade option that won't break the bank?
