Hello all,

I recently bought my brother a 4070 ti for Christmas, he then gave me his 4060.

My current specs (built 2019~):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: RTX 1070
Motherboard: Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING
Ram: Corsair 16GB
SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 2TB and Samsung 870 Evo 1TB

Current specs give me around 50-70fps on Call of Duty/LoL/Marvel Rivals

Should I upgrade using the 4060 or try and sell it? If I were to upgrade, which CPU/Motherboard/RAM should I get?

Card is solid 200% upgrade, start with that. But if you can find cheap Ryzen 5 5600x then upgrade to that too, and that should give you 2-3x performance for .. checks ebay ... $80 or so.

Mobo should support it, disks are fine, ram is still enough for most gaming. Make sure your PSU has enough juice for new card/cpu

Will definitely look into it, did upgrade to a 750W gold PSU for the GPU

you should have plenty of power with that psu, cpu should be your next focus. if you are trying to stay budget freindly, try and reuse your mobo, any ryzen 5000 cpu should work but the 5600x is kind of a sweet spot for price/performance.

4060 is a decent card and gives you that sweet ray tracing, but does cost a few frames if you want to use it. imo, not worth it, its pretty for some screenshots in some games, but playing with it on is pointless. a stronger cpu with a 4060 should get you 1440p 60hz no propblem, if your target is higher than this, the card will hold you back.

if you have the extra dimm slots on your mobo, adding to your ram rather than replacing it is a valid option, but ram is a minimal improvement overall, you pretty much either have enough or you dont. if you have enough, you dont "need" to change it. AMD can be a bit tricky if you dont have a full "ram kit", the best advice if you have to mix match it, is make sure all sticks are set to the same frequency and timings through the BIOS (if youre comfortable with doing this, otherwise buy a full kit and skip the hassle).

ive been building pc's for over 20yrs, feel free to PM me with specific questions, ill try and give you the most unbias answers possible. i do have bias opinions on somethings but keep those reserved.

Like others have said, you won't need to spend on a new mobo at all, you have a lot of great options for AM4.

Personally depending on the price in your area, I would spend a bit more and get a 5600X3D since you can reuse the mobo(make sure to update the BIOS). The extra 3D v-cache is really nice for multiplayer and CPU-intensive games. The higher 1% lows really help a lot.

Will link sample benchmark for comparison.
