Hey there, I've switched to a 4070 from a 1660S. I started with a tight budget and chose an i5 10500, which has worked fine so far. I haven't seen CPU bottlenecks, but the RAM is stuck at 2666MHz and the WiFi on my motherboard isn't syncing well with my new router's 5GHz WiFi6. For gaming, streaming, and software like Blender or Photoshop, it seems to be holding up for now. You've got some older gear like 1080p monitors, no speakers, and a mouse that's a bit tight. Should I focus on upgrading the CPU, motherboard, or RAM first? Let me know!

Identify the device model to determine its Wi-Fi chipset. For your existing configuration, you don't need to upgrade unless you have a clearer monitor. RAM prices are currently very low.
