I've been thinking about upgrading my GTX 1060 to the RTX 3070, Should I do it? If yes, Which PSU do you recommend?

Dunno should you? What is your 1060 not doing for you anymore?

I'm having a hard time with my current graphics card I can barley enjoy playing games anymore. And I've been thinking about upgrading it for a long time now, I have the money for the RTX 3070, So I thought I'll go for it.

 

My PC Is pretty capable of using it, I just need to upgrade my PSU if I decide to buy it.

What is it having a hard time with? Atm you will still have to wait a couple months at least before being able to get a 3070 and a bit longer to not pay a 40% premium due to the prices being stupid high

I can't run the games I wanna play, And I want to upgrade it in general. I don't mind either paying 40% more or waiting.

The only people that have cards are scalpers and you should never buy from those. The expected timeframe that any 3000 series cards will be available for regular purchasing is 2021 february.

 

A 1060 should still run any game at 1080p medium settings 60fps tho

I'd skip the 3070 and get the 3060Ti. Nearly the same performance, supposed to be $100 cheaper.
