I’m looking to upgrade my GPU but I want to make sure it fits well with my existing setup. Currently, I’ve got an i5 12600KF processor, an MSI Ventus 2X OC RTX 3060 with 12GB of VRAM, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM (I plan to upgrade the RAM later). My motherboard is the MSI Z690-A Pro, and I don’t want to change my CPU. I can spend up to $700 on a new GPU, but I’m not sure which one would work best with my system for gaming with RTX and VR. Any suggestions?

For about $700, you might want to consider the 4070ti Super or the 9070xt; they usually both offer around 16GB of VRAM and pretty similar performance. Just be cautious with the newer 50 series; some have had driver issues and underwhelming performance.
You should definitely be able to get a good GPU upgrade without any issues. If you’re stuck at $700, then maybe look at the 4070 or 9070. However, you might get the 5070 Ti or even a 9070 XT for a little extra cash. Just make sure your PSU can handle it and check your case dimensions to see if the GPU will fit!
Yeah, just keep an eye on the power supply wattage and case space. It seems like the 4070ti and 9070 XT could be your best bets in that price range!
That’s true, I’ve seen 5070s priced well over $900. If you’re on a budget, maybe just stick with the other two.
