I have recently bought a new gigabyte rtx 3070 so here is my pc specs and what should i upgrade if neccesary
Cpu : Ryzen 7 2700x
Gpu : Rtx 3070 8gb gddr6
Mobo : Msi b450m pro v2 m2
Ram : Team group 3200mhz 16gb ram
Psu : Thermaltake 700w 80 plus
Ssd teamgroup 250gb
 
Your PC is fine for gaming at 1080p and somewhat at 1440p. What resolution are you gaming on?

If you are gaming at 1080p then I see no need for upgrading except to add a larger storage drive. Some games are getting huge in requirements for storage space. A couple already require around 250 GB storage space and it's only going to increase in the future.

Should be enough right now
If you want to upgrade you might want upgrade the CPU first depending on the monitor resolution

It's an absolutely fantastic PC for gaming! Your next upgrade should be the SSD, you'll want to cram as many games as you'll like on this beast of a machine, and 250gb just isn't enough.

Too little VRA.... Nah just kidding. Its fine for gaming going forward, depending on settings and your FPS target.

If anything should upgrade I would upgrade the whole rig, not part of it, the balance you have between CPU/GPU right now is OK - and that's really what matters most when it comes to whether its useful to upgrade one or another part of it, what quality setting, FPS or resolution that will support going forward will depend heavily on the game in question.

Then no need to upgrade even cpu
 
I wouldn't do it, you'll see, at best, a very situational performance boost and it'll be minor on a 3070, which will be less than minor going forward as games present heavier graphics. When you encounter stutter in games regardless of settings and despite high FPS, OR when your general FPS number dips below what you find acceptable, is the time to really upgrade.

Basically if you have to ask, you don't need upgrades.

When playing pubg for expl some times i got fps drops to 60 fps or even 50 still not figuring out why ??
 
May I ask about the monitor modell/name please.
Since RTX 3070 via Display Port supports Adaptive Sync togather with a monitor that supports low framerate compensation (lfc) you should be immun to lag/stutter during occasional frame drops.

Upgrade the CPU to balance things out with your new GPU.

The game is online so lots of variables, but is 60/50 unplayable? It could be CPU related and if it is problematic for your gaming, by all means, go for an upgrade. Personally I would refrain from basing the decision on a single online shooter. But if it happens in more games, you could be CPU limited.

Cpu running at 2 to 5 prcent while pubg !! Is it normal

No idea, you have to provide more information if we need to analyze your PUBG performance. One reason for seeing low CPU utilization is that the majority of CPU cores are barely doing anything, and one core is fully loaded. The % usage you see is the total load over all cores.

Settings used + a log showing CPU and GPU usage would be best.
 
A 5800X3D and a bigger m.2 would be the only upgrade I'd do. Maybe RAM to 32 GB.
 
Your PC is fine for gaming at 1080p and somewhat at 1440p. What resolution are you gaming on?

It's fine for 4K as well, unless you feel the need to set all the sliders to Ultra and forget about it. My 3060ti is fine for 4K, but I obviously have to fiddle with settings to get there.
 
I would go for an 5700x 5800x or 5800x3d depending on your budget and cooling, 2700x does the job but everything is smoother with zen 3 and at 1080p you will get more fps and higher lows.( If you play MMOs then you will notice a nice improvement going from zen+ to zen3)

I will try to upgrade to 5700x
 
for competitive gaming i would upgrade the CPU, ryzen 2 series are getting old fast, and a new SSD, even a cheap one would be great. You're a magician if you can game with just that SSD unless you just play one game and even that not all games would fit there on top of a OS and some personal files.
 
1080P IS ENOUGH

There are only two reasons to ask that question for machine that you already have. You either looking for a kudos or an excuse to upgrade.
Either way you are the person that can best answer your question. ;)
