I'd like to upgrade my video card to an RTX 2070 or something in the same tier. Can I add the video card without much trouble or will it require a motherboard & processor upgrade? I'm getting this strange feeling where if I can't upgrade the video card solely, I'll need to get a whole new rig.
Also, I'm currently running at 144hz with DVI-D cables. I believe if I opt for an RTX 2070, I'll need DisplayPort cables to support my monitors, correct?
Note: my motherboard doesn't explicitly support Win 10, so there might be some weirdness.
