[SOLVED] Upgrade worth it?

[Dreamstreet]

So I was thinking of getting the new RTX 3070 to replace my GTX 1660ti, but I am wondering if I should upgrade that one first, or my CPU, which is a Ryzen 7 1700x, and to what if needed.

A cpu upgrade would be a good idea. What monitor are you using?

Using a pretty cheap Samsung 24" monitor, and a HP one as second monitor.

Sounds like a monitor upgrade might be in order before the gpu. What resolution and Hz is your main gaming monitor?

The rumored 3060Ti may be the better choice considering your current monitors.

The reason why I haven't gotten my monitors upgraded is because I'm not always too kind on it, to say it in a light way. I prefer not to spend too much money on that which might get broken.

Then the need for a high end gpu is nullified by a monitor incapable of reaching the expected refresh rate.

Get a 1660 or 2060.

In the case I do want to invest in a new monitor, what are the specs I should go for then?

I would say 2000 DKK which is a bit over 300 dollars

144Hz, 27"
That's my guess
