I've upgraded the 3060 to the 3070ti but read it can get fairly hot, and the NZXT case can get pretty warm as well. Will I need more case fans or a different case for this, or is it fine as is?

I'll be using the PC for a lot of gaming, and it'll be in a fairly small room that can get quite hot during the summer. My current PC (i5, 1050ti) has never had any overheating problems with 2 fans set to exhaust, but obviously since this is a much more powerful computer I just want to check. Thanks.

I would definitely re-think the entire build to be honest. It's not very well thought out for your uses and is using older technology.
