What resolution is your monitor? Make and model of the psu would be good as well. My first thought would be that if gaming is the main use of the pc drop a 5700x3d (or a 5800x3d if you can find one cheap enough second hand) in that motherboard and concentrate on the gpu for the bioggest uplift in performance.

Agreed

Assuming the PSU is up to task, then:
5700x3d and a 9070xt

1440p monitor.

A 5070ti will give you between 60 to 100% more FPS than your 3070 depending on game and start at round £650 otherwise the 9070xt is and alternative with simmlar performance but can be had for £580.

You then could go 5700x3d for CPU upgrade but I would see how the 5600x holds up.
