Gtx1070 pls upgrade to rtx 4070 or rx6700xt at least to see any difference...of course higher, better. X315 pro is qhd monitor.

Add another 2 or 4tb SSD game drive if u can. 1tb is NOT enough unless u ok to install and uninstall to free more space.

agree with geylynd, or u can opt for a 7800xt or 7900xt which should net u a pretty good qhd experience.

if it is the p850gm, i would suggest u replace it immediately.
a good alternative would be something like the adata xpg core reactor or asus rog strix 750w from performance pc and pc themes respectively.

Go for Corsair or Seasonic ATX 3.0 PSU than pair with RTX 4070 or RTX 4070 Ti depending on your budget.
GTX 1070 by now is very dated, RTX 4000 series will definetely outperform it a lot especialy
for 2560 X 1440 resoluition.

Do also check on the case (both new and old) on what type of PSU can be used. ATX or SFX.
