Any thoughts and ideas? Do I need to upgrade something before getting a GPU?

 

 

Thank you!

I personally would upgrade the PSU, pcpartpicker estimates about 520w usage, which probably wouldnt be enough or would just barely be enough.

Your CPU might bottleneck it a little bit, but probably not by a huge amount. Depends on the games you play, of course. Could be worth looking at a 6800 XT, which is a bit cheaper with better rasterization performance.

[JimTheBeet]

On second look, yeah, the power supply could use a bit of an upgrade as Latvian Video said.

You would definitely want a higher wattage PSU to deal with the transient spikes that 30 series has in power. I would've upgraded to a 5600x during black friday sales if that were an option, but it is too late for that.

Your SSD is also a bit meh, try getting a better one. Say a 500GB one from Samsung, or Crucial which is having sale.

 

But defiantly PSU, 3070Ti would need a ~850W one. Some 600W might be able to do pull it off, but I would go 750-800 range.

I'd much rather get a 6900xt since it's a much superior 4k Gaming card

At 4k, the gaming difference between the 3600X and 5600X is likely not noticeable. Generally at that resolution the GPU is the more limiting component.

Put all your money into a GPU (and some for a PSU) and don’t get a new CPU, like brob said. Also the 970 evo plus is overpriced asf, Ryuikko’s list is much better in general
