Upgrade or new PC

Sproffitt999 · 30 Aug 2025 at 15:17

Hi guys.

I have:

I7-9700k
16gb RAM
2070s
Z390 Aorus elite MB

I play BF mainly at 1440p and wondering if a new card is a worthwhile upgrade or whether I need to get a new PC.

Your pc is well above the minimum requirements for BF6 but under the recommended requirements, so it depends if you're happy with that sort of performance...and of course your upgrade budget

BF6 is cpu heavy, so defo a new cpu.
2070 is a bit old now, so new gpu also.
so basically a new pc yeah.

9800X3D + 9070XT/5070 Ti.

I have a budget of around £2k so any suggestions would be appreciated.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95
1 x Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI6E (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03859) = £149.99
1 x Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: MEM-CRS-02782) = £89.98
1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Solid SFF 16GB GDDR7 Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-04898) = £698.99
1 x NVIDIA - Borderlands 4 Standard Edition & the Gilded Glory Pack DLC (SKU: DIG-NVI-06102) = £0.00

1 x Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 Black ARGB V3 All In One CPU Cooler (SKU: COO-TLR-03256) = £49.99

Total: £1,710.83 (includes delivery: £0.00)

if you really want to blow the budget you can swap the 5070ti for a 5080
also i've picked parts that are currently in stock at ocuk, if you are willing to shop around you could slash that £1710 cost to £1600-1650
