Should I upgrade or just get a whole new system?

Hi guys,

I bought my current system a loooooong time ago and am now looking to either replace it entirely or buy the parts to upgrade it. I'm looking for some advice from some seasoned pro's as to weather it's even worth upgrading due to how many parts will need to be replaced, or to save myself the time and effort and just get a whole new system.

For reference, this is my current build specs;

CPU - Intel Core i5 6400

Graphics - 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, MSI G32C4X (1920x1080@60Hz)

Mobo - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. STRIX Z270F

Memory - 8GB RAM, 119GB SSD.

And this is the build I've got my eye on - https://www.costco.co.uk/Computers/Desktops-PCs-iMacs/CyberPower-AMD-Ryzen-7-32GB-RAM-2TB-SSD-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-Gaming-Desktop-PC/p/598914

In terms of what games I play, anything from RPG's like BG3 and Crimson Desert, to Total War, to Apex Legends and Arc Raiders.

Any advice would be massively appreciated, I want to be as educated as possible with this being an expensive decision to make.

Thanks
