Hello everyone!

 

I'm planning to upgrade my current gaming setup from GTX 970 (mini) to RTX 3070 and i5 6600 to i7 7700k (currently used mobo - Asrock Z170 Pro4s supports up to this CPU level). This is a temporary upgrade with mobo and PSU to be replaced in the future and I wonder if that makes any sense to upgrade without changing those components, my current build is:

 

CPU: i5 6600 3.3Ghz

CPU cooler: SilentiumPC Fortis 3 (as I've backflashed bios and OC'ed CPU to 4.2GHz)

Mobo: Asrock Z170 Pro4s

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 (mini)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W 80 Plus Bronze

Case: Antec GX500

Storage: Transcend 128GB 2,5" SATA SSD 370S, SSD 850 EVO 500 GB, Dysk Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" SATA III

Memory:  2x HyperX 8GB 2133mhz DDR4

 

I know that there might be some bottleneck from CPU but I guess that it shouldn't be much of a problem at least for now. My concern is mainly on mobo and PSU (planned CPU OC and GPU in stock values).

 

Thanks in advance!
