A:AnswerThe only problem you have is your Asus z390 uses PCIE 3.0 and the rtx 3070 supports PCIE 4.0. INTEL currently doesn't have a board running PCIE 4.0. Looking at your system use Asus 5 way optimization and goose your cpu up 5.0 mhz, and you won't any problems with BOTTLE NECKING.
A:Answeryou will need to get a different motherboard for better fps because pcie gen 4 is what it runs on so pcie gen 3 will bottleneck the performance
A:AnswerYou will need to upgrade your power supply to at least 650 watts. Power supply prices are pretty high right now. I would expect a cost of ~$100 for a 650-700 watt power supply. And a Ryzen 5 3600 will work great if you aren’t trying to stream or run really high refresh rates (above 144hz).
A:AnswerDepends on what game you are playing, and what cpu you have. If you have at least a 3700x cpu and aren’t playing extremely hardware demanding games, the 3070 would work great. It is comparable to the rtx 2080ti as far as specs (if not better), so if you want to benchmark your games I would look at some 2080ti benchmarks on youtube.
A:AnswerIt will be enough for any current generation games. Some games will provide CPU and GPU render individually, such as newer Forza titles so you can judge if any frames are being lost to CPU. May be a future need for upgrade down the line. The founders edition should fit in your case, but you will be upgrading that stock Dell power supply as I'm almost certain it's under 500W and you need at least 650W for this card. Based on the 3080 power demands, you WILL want that 650W. Should be able to upgrade without swapping a case though!
