What is the best upgrade path here? Stick to AM4 or new motherboard? What GPU?

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for the best upgrade path for my current situation.
I play Forza Horizon, GTA V, GTA VI once it comes out for PC, Red Dead, Cyberpunk...

I feel like 1440p with high-ultra settings at 120+ FPS is perfectly fine for me.

Current setup:

  • Ryzen 7 3700X
  • 32GB DDR4
  • AORUS X570 Ultra
  • MSI Suprim X RTX 3070
  • Seasonic Focus 800W Gold

I'm trying to avoid replacing everything, so I was looking at the 5700X3D. Is this still worth it in 2026 and capable for a couple more years?

The 8GB VRAM on the 3070 is a bit of a limitation, so I was looking at the 5070 or 5070 Ti.

Or do I just need to bite the bullet and replace the entire PC at once?
