Aurora R1, FTW power upgrades! :)

Hello friends :)

In 2009 I bought the amazing Aurora R1 with i7-920 and the legendary hd5870.

Through the years I upgrades it with i7-990x and 6x4gb ram, and msi gtx1070ti.

Tha original psu should be 875w.

I'm just wondering if with upgrading this system with a used gtx3060ti or gtx3070 will give some gains or not... (according to Gemini, yes).

It's just for the fun of doing it, of course. Perfectly aware that the best solution would be to build a new PC but it would not make sense for me since I don't need/want a pc for gaming. I'm a casual gamer enjoying more the upgrading/oc/tuning to take out the max I can from systems I have than just playing games.

Many thanks for everyone wanting to help me :)
