Question Can I upgrade my video card to a 4080 or similar card without any additional changes?

Hi all, this is my first post asking for help on something computer related since I usually get the info myself, but I wanted to ask the community for feedback since I'm not sure. Please see my specs below and let me know if I could safely purchase a new 4080 equivalent video card without changing any other specs. The computer is just over 3 years old, but from what I can tell, I should be okay to just upgrade the video card. Please let me know what you think, thank you!

The CPU and ram speed will hold the card back if your aim is +100fps. But psu is fine, and if you're aiming at 4k at 60-90 fps, so is pairing a 4080 with 8700k and 2666 MHz memory
Tbh I'd change the ram for 3600 c16 first and keep the 8700k. Mine only cost 70eur for a 2x16 kit.

Thank you so much for the reply!

What is your monitor resolution? The reason I ask is because you could drop to a less expensive gpu while upgrading your system.
