Should be fine. The 9070XT does not have any particularly onerous requirements.

i agree, due to ram and ssd high price. i think better upgrade gpu only.

before you buy 9070xt check if you psu have enough cable for the 8pin power as some use 3x 8pin

i see most 9070 needs 850w and above, most likely, need change psu too.
btw heard from my fren that 9070 will be boost if i am on amd ryzen build
using intel system is perfectly fine？or should i get a 5070 or 5070ti?

Depend which game you are playing.
RX9700 only issue if you ask is it require 3 X PCIE Connector.
Which unfornuately these days most modern PSU only comes with either 2+1 PCIE Connector.

PSU with 3 X PCIE Connector can be hard to find one.
If you consider RTX 5070 recommend to change PSU as it uses the newer 12vhpwr.
It really depend on your budget but these days RAM, SSD and GPU prices are high
due to shortage of RAM.

With ongoing conflict the situation will get even worse.
If you don't want to spend too much $, I recommend you find a used RTX 2080
which will be more faster than RTX 2060.

RTX 2060 nowadays is counted bare minimum.
I myself still uses a dated i9 9900k RTX 2080 Ti to play most of the games whether old or modern.

it will work on a good 750w psu..

 

[ragnarok95]

9070XT can utilize PCIe 5.0. I tik ur Z490-F only support PCIe 3.0. It still can run but will be bottlenecked.
PSU can change later if ur PC keep restarting after new 9070XT installed.

if i get a powercolour red devil 9070x & a 1000w psu to put into my PCIe 3.0, any idea how many % can i get from the gpu?
is the upgrade very significant compare to my existing RTX2060s?

You need to ask around.
For the PSU best to get one that have 3 X PCIE conenctor not piggyback.
Piggyback means use the connector from either the 1st or 2nd cable.

There are not a lot of PSU with 3 XPCIE cable, check if Seasonic Focus or Vertex are available.
I only know Seasonic have 3XPCIE cable while most others have fewer PCIE cables.

Lian li sx1000p/sx1200p have 3xpcie
2025 New launch model

This is good choice... I dislike the Edge but for this PSU.. yes is build even better, but are expensive.
