If you were to upgrade to the 5700 you would be cutting it close for power consumption but you should be fine. I would also not recommend upgrading to this graphics card to prevent cpu bottleneck. I would recommend a less powerful graphics card that is more fit for your cpu such as a 5600 or 5500 xt. You would not need to upgrade ram

A 570 performs very similarly to a 5500xt, also good luck finding a 5600

What PSU? What is your budget for an upgrade? What do you plan on/already doing?
