Would you be open to doing a full new build except for carrying over your 1070 ti? it's still a really solid card at 1080p. $1500 is tough to fit a whole build with a gpu that is a meaningful upgrade to a 1070 ti.
something like this would be good and then start working on getting a 3070 or better for near msrp. Or a 3060 ti would be a good upgrade if you stay at 1080p

Am I in need of a new mobo to be compatible with newer parts?
