Build Advice Bottleneck or overkill with any of these ?

[gabecz]

Hi

My current setup is due for a full upgrade:
Gigabyte Z370P D3
I7-8700K
RTX 3070
2 x 16GB 3600mhz DDR4 RAM


My plan would be:
MSI PRO Z790-S WiFi Pro Series
I7-12700K
RTX 5070 (if i'm lucky enough to get one)
2 x 16GB 6000mhz DDR5

My question is if it's a balanced quartet or i'm having something out of balance?
4K gaming (on 65" QN90D) on ultra settings, but must add, i'm not an fps junkie.

without the RTX 50 series i wouldn't get much improvement upgrading mobo-ram-cpu though right? i mean i can do the upgrade but the vga then wait for a good deal on it.

Current PSU: I have a Corsair TX850 80 Plus Bronze. and a spare RM750x

ok i can't stop.. is it ok to buy an rx 9070 xt for gross $777?

It is double the performance of your 3070 so you have to decide is that worth $777 to you.

and with more vram i'm guessing it's better or just as good as the rtx5070?

the 9070xt tdp is quite something. not that it's a factor i'm not mining or playing 18hrs every day.

The 9070 XT performs only 2% slower than the 5070 ti so its much better than the 5070. Here are some benchmarks so you can decide for yourself.

thank you so much all for your help and input!
$777 is a lot of dough for a computer part, but i think i'll be able to keep it for quite a bit. couple of years for sure.

i think a handful of 9070s were available at bestbuy today the xfx oc says add to cart, then "you're in line" then "not available" where as all other 9070 amd and 5070 nvidia are saying "sold out"

i found one on amazon, but it ships by may 8th. from asus germany. if anyone is willing to wait a month and a half, here's the product "code" B0DSG8LXX9

no-xt but rx 9070 for $760 with shipping & tax. oh well. "Cassian said I had to" at least i won't flood this topic anymore huh?
plus now i need like 120 minutes of game-time a day to get out my $$ worth haha
