I come once again to seek your collective wisdom. Recently my GPU has died, and I'm looking for a new one, but I want to make sure it's compatible with the rest of my PC before actually buying it. Since the specific card that stopped working is $300 more expensive than it was when I bought it two years ago (for a used one, no less), I'm going to have to find a new one, preferably an upgrade that will work well with a valve index. Here's the setup I have:

MB - MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 HDMI ATX
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
GPU - ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER DUAL-RTX2070S-A8G-EVO 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
MEM - CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2D3600C18
PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 80+ Gold SLI/Crossfire Ready Ultra Quiet 140mm Hydraulic Bearing Smart Zero Fan Full Modular Power Supply 10 Year Warranty - PS-TPD-0750FNFAGU-1

Right now I'm eyeing a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, but I'm a bit worried that I might have to upgrade my PSU for it.

Thank you for your help

No problems with the psu looking at a RTX 3070 TI . Something like an RTX 3080 (TI) might even be possible, that cpu doesn't use that much power. Think even with a Ryzen 5600/5800X you would be fine.

Depending on what resolution you play might the 3600 be somewhat of a bottleneck, at least on 1080p with a 3080 (TI). Just look at some reviews.
