These are the PC specifications:
Ryzen 5 5600x
MSI B550 gaming plus with wifi adapter
Gtx 1070ti (still plays new games well on medium/high)
32gb ram corsair vengeance
Hyte y60 with screen upgrade
Corsair link fans
1tb nvme wd
750 watt psu
Corsair k70 keyboard
Corsair m65 ultra wireless mouse
Acer 1080p monitor 27 inch
I told him the 1070ti isn't very good, but he said he plans on upgrading that, but I don't know which one I can recommend Because his power supply is 750 watts and it's also older he doesn't have much money, He said he can get a 3060, but $400 for 3060 It's crazy. Graphics cards right now are outrageous on price
So I'm asking this for him.
Would it be a good trade for a PS5 pro or not?
Also, if it's a good trade, which graphics card would you recommend? He's only going to be running 1080p unless he upgrades later.

PC and PS5 are essentially equivalent in performance.
Could he be engaging in activities other than gaming?
If that's the case, owning a PC would still be advantageous.

I don’t understand what he means. Would you consider trading or not? And if yes, which GPU would fit it while keeping the current setup? He mentioned he plans to stream and do some graphic design later, and he wants to use Steam since its games are better than the PS5.

He owns a PS5.
He is considering exchanging for a PC?
It works fine.
Can it run the games he wishes to play?

He owns a PS5 pro and mentioned he wants to trade for a computer. I inquired about his reason, and he explained he needs it so he can stream. Later, he expressed interest in graphic design and wanting to play games on Steam. One title, Sons of the Forest, stood out to him as something worth considering. The others seemed disappointing due to previous offers.

I doubt it's 1070TI. I plan to play Warzone, though I'm uncertain.

It seems like he requires a PC!
The main concern is whether that PC will satisfy his requirements.
Likely yes.

It's a solid trade, with room for improvements. The GPU is the main upgrade point. The top choice right now is
[td] Radeon RX 9060 XT 16gb. It should work well at 1080p, especially if paired with a 5700x3D later (the current best gaming chip for that board). Using an AIO or a 6 heatpipe cooler would be ideal. If you're streaming, go with a 5900x instead, but expect it to need some tweaking and adjustments based on personal experience—adding an AIO and adjusting the voltage is necessary.

He wasn't able to access the 5800X3D later, as indicated by the information on his B550 motherboard.

God no. The 1070Ti is currently a weak card and is being pushed out by NVIDIA. There isn't much time left for support if it hasn't already been removed.
