You possibly need a new monitor too 1080p 27inch is a poor image quality monitor which won't bring you much of the joy even with a brand new pc and good quality gpu.

Could you copy and paste your full specs list so we don't need to go via link? What's your budget?

I've made a couple of tweaks just to help increase the longevity of the PC more than anything

- You want a bigger PSU to support any future GPU upgrades. A modular PSU will also be easier to manage and easier to sort any excess cables.
- I switched the case to one which will run cooler
- Selected a better wireless card for far better performance
- Silver warrenty - for a fiver it's worth its weight in gold if you have to send it back

With Drives you ideally want a smaller driver for the OS and keep you games/files on a different Drive. Helps if you ever have to install Windows again. Plus drives lose performance the more data thats held on them - You wil want to change the drive set up to what ever you feel you require

Thats brilliant cheers, the storage was the main thing that has confused me the most and there doesn't seem to be many videos out there about it. Im dreading how long gpus will be out of stock for 🙈 couldn't of picked a worse time to be doing it.

if you're staying 1080p then the 3060 Ti is a waste of cash as that's really a 1440p card, the 3050 is due for release soon which will be better suited to 1080p and will also be cheaper

My wife has been on the phone getting my monitor refunded 🙌🙌 so will be getting a 1440 is the 3070 more of a 4k card

3070 is for extreme 1440, the 3060Ti is the perfect companion for the 100+fps mark.

I wouldn't recommend any of the quiet cases though, the 220 is a better case for cooling.... the H500 is more appealing though as it has more user friendly fan configuration.
