New build 1440p

[oggiet]

Hi all

Looking to get back into gaming as my daughter is 7 now and would like to introduce her to gaming so we can play together.

Current system is :
1440p 60hz monitor
i5 12500 CPU
16GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM
Corsair 750W platinum PSU

Above system is miniITX build that I'm running iGPU. I would like to pass this PC to my daughter, just need GPU to add to it. What are my options, something like 6700xt ?

Also I would like to build new build for myself, also need it to be miniITX system(will buy Dan C4-SFX case next month when released).
Would like to buy gaming 1440p monitor that I would use for work as well. Have my eye set on Alienware AW2723DF.
Ideally I would like this system to last me 4-5 years, don't really have a budget in mind .......think mid range specs. I'm thinking AM5 platform so can upgrade path in the future, would something like 7700(non x as its better power efficient) and 7900xt be a good option ? I know that monitor is 240hz but running it at 144hz would be fine for me.

Some opinions would be appreciated, budget is not a problem but don't want to spend extra money if not needed

Yes, pretty good base spec already. 6700xt would do the job perfectly adequately

think mid range specs. I'm thinking AM5 platform so can upgrade path in the future, would something like 7700(non x as its better power efficient) and 7900xt be a good option ? I know that monitor is 240hz but running it at 144hz would be fine for me.
