Yes i do have a 550W PSU, planning to upgrade the GPU because yes indeed i play Counter strike global offensive and Battlefield 1, and they seem to ask for a decent video card and i tried to sneak a 1070 gtx on my budget, and i saw that indeed its the most expensive single part, and i bought it...

it's an Athlon II x3 445 3.4 ghz, though i want to buy a whole PC, i decided to start with the most expensive part, which is the GPU, and then from there to start getting the Mobo, the CPU and the RAM, but till i get them i want to play some games, and i dont know if should i even bother...

So i want to buy a GTX 1070, and i know my CPU is so low that it will surely bottleneck the gtx 1070 so hard, but i wondered, if i get a gpu of lower performance like a gtx 970, or even lower, i will get more FPS than with the gtx 1070?, or is it just the same?

What do you mean by backwards compatible?, i've bought a while ago like 1 or 2 years ago a video card that needed pci-e 3.0 on a 2.0 and my pc didnt start, and some friend said i needed to downgrade my bios or some sort, so it works, but i bought a kit and that video card i sold it, i didnt...

So i should buy a cpu first instead of video card?, i've asked some friends and they said that Video card would be a great choice since my resolution is bigger than my video card can handle, they also said something like overclocking my cpu to a quad core wont damage it, and an x6 isnt that bad...

My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 socket m2 AM3 and ddr3 , i would try to buy a full build but i want to upgrade it myself, my resolution is kinda big 1920x1080 and the gtx 750TI works kinda good on it, but the vid card i got fits badly with my resolution, the games i want to play, hm...
