@MrWilson @JUNI0R hi guys, sorry to bring up on old thread but you guys helped me originally spec my pc and the spec is on this thread, my rtx 2060 has broken, hoping under manafacturers warranty to replace but looking to replace with a better gpu anyway, im thinking of a 2070 or 3070, possibly a ti, just wondering what you guys think as have better knowledge than i do
Btw the pc has been fantastic, i think me playing oculus quest 2 via steamlink has knackered it, just seen your comments about struggle vr whereas i had skyrim, fallout an blade an sorcery with mods on high settings haha

I wouldn't bother with the same generation (20 series), they weren't that good anyway. A 3070 would be my choice but you could also look at AMD. Nothing is cheap anymore though. No need to worry about power requirements, that's a top spec PSU you've got.

I'd suggest a 3060 Ti as an ideal option: broadly similar to the 3070, just with slightly weaker performance and a decent slice less price.

Cheers guys appreciate the reply, had my eye on a 3070 for sometime next year, this has just pushed it forwards, also the broken gpu is under warranty so happy days, gonna look at sourcing one! Thanks for also clearing up on PSU as i know my processor can work with 3070, was gonna ask about PSU

You're PSU more than covers a 3070 mate it was a good choice when you picked the components

I have a 3060Ti and can attest to it's power, it's impressed me to no end. The 3070 is undoubtedly more powerful though
