The 5070 Ti is over twice the performance of a 4060 Ti at 1440p and 4k gaming so its a fantastic upgrade.

At your resolution your CPU matters less but the 3700X will be a bottleneck in more modern CPU heavy games.

You will most definitely see a good increase in performance though.

I had a friend who ran a 4070 Ti Super with a Ryzen 1700x and she had a good time, was it ideal? No.

 

Get the GPU and plan a upgrade to a 5700X3D as soon as you can 🙂

Most important question: Do you feel that your current setup doesn't do what you want/need it to do?

Its way too easy to get caught up in the hype-train and think one needs to upgrade way too soon.

mITX is awesome! I regret nothing (apart from when picking parts or have to do maintainance *cough*cough*)
