You're considering an upgrade to a more powerful setup. The Intel i5 10600K with a MSI MAG Tomahawk Z490 board seems like a solid foundation. Regarding the GPU, replacing your Zotac 1060 with an RTX 3070 or later would likely not cause a bottleneck, as the CPU should handle the workload. Just ensure your power supply and cooling can support the new components. Good luck with the upgrade!
This processor thrives with rapid memory speeds and precise clock settings. A strong overclock to 5GHz will noticeably boost performance. The chipset handles the workload well from the 20-series, making a 3070 an appropriate choice.
