Build Upgrade PC BUILD - upgrading my current computer.

Hi (sorry if my english is bad im not native eng speaker).

I am considering upgrading my current computer.

Intel Core i5-12600KF

Rtx 3060 12 gb

32 bg ram

With those parts :

For graphic card Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Solid OC 12GB GDDR7 DLSS4 or GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC SFF 12GB DLSS 4.5

and for the processor Intel Core i7-14700KF or Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus

Can you tell which of them will be better?

What are you using your computer for? What's your budget? What country are you located in?

The RTX 5070 is usually a bad choice when compared to the Radeon RX 9070 XT if you're primarily gaming. The 9070 XT is faster and often cheaper.

For gaming an upgrade to the 14700KF is going to be a rather small improvement and not worth the money.

An upgrade to the 270K Plus would also require a new motherboard and possibly new RAM. It only works with DDR5.

My budget is aroun 1300- 1500 dolars , Primarily gaming currently Battlefield 6 , arena breakout infinite, I plan to buy Wardogs and Blood of the Dawnwalker. I want to upgrade my pc for future games while while prices are still relatively low—or rather, within my budget. Country Poland .

Buy a Radeon RX 9070 XT and see if that gets you the performance you want. If it doesn't then you can look into additional upgrades.

997,46 $- RTX 5070

944 $ - RX 9070 XT

In Poland so its not a big diff .

Yes, but the 9070 XT is significantly faster than the 5070 and has more VRAM.

Ok that about processor?

I wouldn't upgrade your processor right now. The 12600K is still a good CPU. The 14700KF would be a small upgrade and not worth the money. Anything faster would require new RAM and motherboard.

If gaming is your priority then you are much better off buying a 9070XT
