Upgrading to an RTX 3070 may require a minimum 750W power supply. This component demands significant power. It seems the motherboard is still functional despite being somewhat outdated. It should handle 9700 MHz without issues. Regarding RAM, 16GB at 2666MHz fits the setup, though upgrading to 3200MHz on a B-type chipset didn't yield much improvement. Focus should remain on the GPU first, especially with power considerations. The Comet Lake CPU is set to release soon, so I'll keep an eye on its launch (expected in Q1 or Q2 2021). I plan to save up and upgrade everything at once, since most shops only sell new parts when building a system, which can also lead to better deals. This approach worked in Malaysia, where they don’t have Ryzen 5000 CPUs or RTX 3000 GPUs available for consumer upgrades, so buyers must purchase the entire system.
Yes, focus on saving more for a larger purchase rather than spending immediately.
Well, it really depends. Securing a solid price now could help you obtain the item you want. I’m uncertain about your location, but in Malaysia that’s the situation at the moment. Reach out to your seller or dealer first and ask if they can offer attractive deals. Christmas is near, and some stores provide significant discounts. If you manage to find a good deal, go for it; otherwise, hold off until the computer parts market stabilizes.
