And I need to upgrade the graphics card cause it was a little lackluster if I'm honest... Upgrading to this card is the biggest upgrade i'm going to have to do on this PC and the most important to me, i want to game at 60+ fps on all the latest games and future games so I need help knowing what I need to upgrade and if the actual card will fit in the GPU slot that i have? If anyone can offer any advice or ideas on how i can make sure this transition goes well i would grately appreciate the help cause i'm not very clued up about building PCs.

Thank you everybody who reads and replies!

you bought a dead end, its already maxed out with your current 1050 ti


the cpu is far too weak for a 1080 ti, and since it is a dead end there is no upgrade to allow it to perform up to that card

you cannot just drop in a good gpu and expect good performance


to meet your goals you need a complete rebuild

if you recently bought it return it, and I strongly suggest you ask for help in building a proper gaming setup
 
Hi, you recently told me that my Cyberpower Armada View Gaming PC was a dead end buy, does this mean the base unit itself can't handle anything else? Like the motherboard can't be upgraded to allow it to fit further upgrades and hopefully have the power to fit a GTX 1080 Ti in the future? Is the motherboard that it has a dead end or the actual base unit? Also is it possible for me to get a new motherboard and processor in the machine but still keep some components like my graphics card and RAM? Basically I'm asking if I upgraded my motherboard could I fit something like an i7 7700k in it? The way you said my computer was a dead end buy completely threw me off so I've asked for it to be returned but can you tell me how it's dead end specifically whether or not I can or cannot upgrade the motherboard? Or can the base unit that I have not fit another motherboard in it? A bigger better one?

Thanks for the help! I don't know if you read these so I'll post the same question on the thread. :)
 


the platform itself, i.e. motherboard + cpu + ram is a dead end

pre-builts like this often have sub standard power supplies and cases

it is pointless to keep the rest as you can buy a LOT better case and power supply separately

it is not worth keeping at all


like I said return it, and post your budget + location and ask for help making a gaming build
