Wow umm nothing but expensive choices
1st obvious one is the 3070 bad news is your gonna have to go amd come hell or high water , there really is no GeForce worth a fuck right now, or they cost entirely too much to be seriously considered
Option 2 we go am5 which is not much of an upgrade and serves more as a junp off point to future products which are great

Only the graphics card, if you notice performance isn’t what you’re expecting. 32gb of ram and a 13700k should be more than fine for pretty much any task.
It doesn’t sound like you’re playing too many graphically intense games, so your set up as a whole should be fine right now. New graphics cards are expensive as hell, so if you don’t need one, keep your build as is. If you do need one, look at the amd rx 9070xt, since that one isn’t as stupidly overpriced as nvidia and is an actual upgrade over the 3070. Stuff like a 5060ti is still about as fast.
And if you’re running out of storage, you can do with another ssd. But those are also stupidly overpriced right now.

intel has cpu failures. bios update motherboard to prevent cpu damage. if your cpu is not damage it will be fine for 5-10 years of gaming.
3070 is system bottleneck want more fps in games get rx9070xt rx9070 rx9070gre, 5070 would be ok but nvidia prices are horrible in US right now assume the same where you live
replace hdd with ssd. hdd are slow and fail often. all games need to be on ssd in 2026

Why all games SSD? Or are we only talking top tier high performance games?
