You wont see that much of a difference to justify doomscrolling ebay and best buy for a drop on it, and honestly at 1440p the 8/8 on 9700k is decent enough to game on, so keep the system as is for now. Save up for the upcoming DDR5 and 6000 series ryzen CPU/12th gen Intel.

CPU upgrade won't make much of a difference. The 9700K is still great. It will only help for stuff like video editing, but for gaming not really.

That's not very precise...

I guess, you are gaming on 1440p.
Which program/game did you use? How many FPS do you want? How many FPS did you get?

I think a RTX 3070 should be enough to play any game > 60 FPS.

I would not upgrade

Probably this is because your cpu doesn't have hyperthreading. The extra threads does smooth out the overall gaming experience (no affect on frame rates). You could look into getting the 9900K, but as most people have said already, it's not really worth it.

Upgrade the speakers, for sure.

I have those speakers personally, and they're pretty awesome. I'm sure there are other great solutions out there though, like you said.
