Can i uprade my system to a gtx1070?

[Sadoone]

With games being more and more demanding on systems, my pc falls short with todays games.

My current card is a asus gtx670 2gb OC and I'd like to upgrade it to a gtx 1070 8gb (either MSI or ASUS, still deciding)
But i wouldn't know if my CPU and MOBO are being bottlenecked by the new GPU.

Cpu: i7 3770k, not OC due to temp issue but installing a coolermaster v8 today in hope to resolve this issue.

Mobo: Asus PZ68-v gen3

Thanks in advance..

the psu won't make much difference. His current GTX670 draws a max of 170w, with the GTX1070 only drawing 150w. He should be fine with his current PSU.

And as all other posters have said, your I73770k is an awesome CPU, still good for a few years, and will drive any high end card, and most SLI setups with no bottleneck.

its not abt the wattage but abt the quality and how much efficient it is...even zebronics have 650w psu...

good, no reason to toss money getting a new one


you really should get a good 550w psu though


something tier 1 or 2 from this list:

as mentioned...no need for a new mobo...u can still keep this one and OC it...u can keep the psu too, but at ur risk...if u want a decent psu then this is a gud one...

I'll look into a new PSU, i had a corsair but it didn't fit in my casing and the computer store arround corner had this one laying arround, so i fitted this one in..
Good to point out this "flaw"
New PSU and gtx1070 it is then..

Thank you

i think your missing the point. If the PSU drives the GTX670 fine and without problems, then he WON'T have problems running the 1070. Common sense applies here.

What nonsense logic are you using? By your same logic a train engine should be able to drive a helicopter just fine because it has more than enough HP. WATTAGE IS NOT EVERYTHING

You should read some intro electrical engineering books to discover a little thing called a transient response
