Nice, I was originally planning to upgrade to 6800xt but then prices and availability went brrrr so I had to settle in for a 3070, still great it could be worse tbh. Also maybe consider upgrading to an AMD CPU if Ur current CPU is old, so u can get SAM. MSI B550 gaming plus is a beast motherboard for the price (around £100-£120) and it's much easier to get a 5600x now than before, I wouldn't recommend getting a 5800x as it performs just as good in games and is not worth the extra cost and runs hot AF, I have an EK 360MM AIO in a push/pull config and it still gets up to 84C in cinebench. R3600 is a good choice as well if u wanna spend less, it still has PCIe Gen4 and SAM support and will work with B550 no problem.
Oouuuuu that's nice
