Hi.
I have been wanting to upgrading from gtx 770 2gb to 1060 6gb, but i am worried that my PC especially my cpu wont be able to handle it well.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz
GeForce GTX 770 2GB
16GB RAM
(not sure about my PSU)
225GB SSD
2TB HDDs

"do you think a 750w PSU is good for that "
Yes

You don't need to upgrade your PSU. Get the GTX 1060 it will run great with your CPU.

I completely disagree with the entire premise of that thebottlenecker.com website.
It will claim there's a bottleneck on the fastest systems in the world and has no input as to general performance only system balance.

Here is what I'm talking about:
According to that website I shouldn't pair my CPU (6600K) with a 1080Ti. (Which would actually work great together.)

It doesn't explain the issue just claims that there will be a bottleneck and gives an arbitrary percentage.. based on?what?... It also doesn't tell you that a system with those specs will run ANYTHING you throw at it. It's giving people a sense that their system isn't good enough when that's just not true.

It's like analysing a lamborghini and saying the tires aren't good enough for the engine... Ok, but it still a super fast car. Which is the point that's being completely ignored by this site.

I'd like to know the source of funding for that site. Intel? AMD? nVidia? or maybe.. newegg? tigerdirect?
Seems like someone may be profiting from their suggestions when they are making suggestions to upgrade when a person really doesn't need to.

Your CPU and GPU combo (with the GTX 1060) will run any game at or near maxed.
Your CPU WILL NOT hold you back... Ignore the ignorance.

You actually cannot handle or choose the scenarios, specially if you play cpu heavy games like BF1 or GTA5 or Witcher 3, etc.
Other than that, make sure you do not multitask too much, specially when playing games. Like, Chorme tends to hog a lot of pc resource. So if you have a couple of tabs open while playing a game, that might cause some lags.

About the psu, those components you have listed wont need more than 450w max. I dont see the point of switching to a 750w, but its fine if you do that. The point being, a higher wattage doesnt gurantee better performance. What you need is a quality unit which has good efficincy and power delivery. Use these as loose reference...

I was thinking Corsair 750W Active PFC Modular 80+ Gold RM750x PSU should be a good PSU, what do you think?

Also do you think the Intel core i5 7600 or the 7600k are good enough?

Those parts i told you about are already pretty dam expensive that i am hesitating of buying em...

Plus i am worried about when i switch the motherboards.. since i will have to reinstall windows and stuff, even though there is a way to do it without having to fresh installing windows 10, i will still lose my activation...

Also, one more thing, do i have to upgrade my fans with those parts as well? or fans dont matter as much?
the fans i have arent that bad.

Hey, sorry to bother you again ^^

But i am thinking about buying the PSU and GPU first and after a month or so ill buy the motherboard and CPU
reasons are... money...

i will try to be as much careful with it, ill try not to multitask and stuff....

what do you think? also what should i avoid other than multitasking?

Also i might get the gtx 1080 turbo 8gb gpu instead of the 1060 6gb one, do you think the cpu i am also getting will handle it good enough?

Hey 😀
I wanna bug you one last time hopefully..
I decided i should buy a whole new pc, buying parts is gonna cost quite a bit, so i thought why not put a little more and order a new pc.

These are the specs of my new PC, i made an order (by mistake) but i can stop it if its not too late, tell me if these are good parts:
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K 4.2Ghz 8MB Cache s1151
Motherboard: Asus Strix Z270F Gaming LGA1151, Intel Z270, DDR4, 3xPCI-E, DVI, HDMI, DP
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL16
PUGGPU[/u]: Asus GTX 1060 DUAL 6GB OC GDDR5 DVI 2xHDMI 2xDP PCI-E
Harddisk: Western Digital Purple 2TB 64MB Sata III WD20PURX
Sound Card: Asus STRIX SOAR PCI-E
PSU: Corsair 750W 80+ Gold RM750x
Case: Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower Window No PSU
Case Fan 1: Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower Window
Case Fan 2: Corsair ML120 PRO LED Red 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation
Case Fan 3: Corsair ML120 PRO LED Blue 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation

Note: i know that the 7700k is for overclocking, i got it just in case, who knows, i may decide to overclock at one point.

Tell me your opinion 😀 and others are welcome too 😀

Couple of things here...

> First, Intel is about to launch their 6 core Coffee Lake mainstream processors in a couple of months. The 8700K will launch around the same price and its performance will be significantly better than 7700K. So its worthwhile to wait for wait a few months, specially when you have a more than capable cpu right now.

> Inspite, if you decide to go ahead, change the board to the Gaming E instead of the Gaming F. Its a significantly better board and comes with more connectivity options along with bluetooth and wifi. It will cost you another 15-20 bucks maybe.

> Bump up the RAM to 3200mhz for better performance. Might cost around 10-15 bucks more.

> Ditch the sound card as the onboard sounds are pretty good these days, almost as good as the external cards. If you want better sound, get an external DAC/AMP setup.

> Get a SSD for a boot drive as it will significantly enhance the performance.

Rest looks fine.

I cant wait for a new CPU, i am leaving town in 2 months, will only come back home a few days a month and it will be quite some time like that.

ill change both the board and the RAM, though they only have up to 3000Mhz RAM in the stock for now...

as for the sound card, i am not very knowledgeable when it comes to sound cards, but why an internal sound card isnt good? can you explain more?

I do have an SSD, which i am currently using on this PC, i will switch it once i buy the new PC.

The internal cards cannot refine sound from electronic interference from other components like an external dac/amp can, because the external setup is isolated and the sound doesnt need to pass beside other components. The EMS advertised with these cards are mostly marketing BS and has a lot of gaping holes when compared to an external setup.
It wont make a whole lot of difference to the experience like an external setup can do, or atleast that has been my personal experience from using both. And I am sure, a lot of people agrees with this.
