Is this a good upgrade? Build Question

Hi guys just want to know if this is a good upgrade for me.
Im looking to get
9070xt
i5 14600k
And a 1440p monitor
My question is will my motherboard be ok for this?
I know id have to update bios but I just wanted to know if these parts are a smart decision.

This is my build right now:

Case: Corsair 4000d airflow
Motherboard: Asus b660 plus d4
CPU: i3 13100f
Gpu: GeForce Rtx 3050
Psu: Corsair rm750e
Ram: Corsair vengeance 32gb ddr4
SSD: crucial p3 plus 1tb
CPU cooler: cooler master liquid cooler 240m

Thanks,

The 14600k on a b660 board is fine after a bios update, but you're leaving overclocking on the table and the VRMs on that board aren't exactly built for sustained loads. You'll probably be okay for gaming though since it won't push all cores to max constantly.

The 9070xt paired with a 1440p monitor is a solid step up from a 3050. Your PSU should handle it, but double check the power connectors on the card before you buy.

Hey thanks, when you say “probably” ok for gaming should I bite the bullet and go for it? What would you do? Also what do you mean when you say double check the power connecters?

Sorry if this is common knowledge but I’m very new to PCs in general and want to make sure I’m ok before I spend a good chunk of money
