Can Intel Core i5-4570 handle GTX 1060 6GB?

[Asa98]

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

Dont get the USB cards. They are usually even worse as the channeling is through the internal USB header which does not have very good electronic shielding. Better go with the initial pcie card idea.

Can you please look at the picture again and tell me which pci sound card i should get? i am trying to save some money, originally i wanted the Strix Soar... but ithink its a bit expensive but if its much better than the rest i will keep it...

I was not able to open the link atm. But for a pcie card, i would suggest the Creative SBZ. Its a tad better than the Sonar. The Sonar DGX is very good if you want to channel headphone sound. The DSX is good if you want to channel speaker sound. But the Creative SBZ gives you a balanced sound from both outputs.

The available ones are:
Asus-
Xonar DGX 5.1
Strix Soar
Strix Raid DLX

Creative Sound Blaster-
Audigy FX 5.1 with SBX Pro Studio
Audigy RX 7.1
Z 5.1
ZXR High Performance

Again, i want a good one not necessarily the best one, a good one with good price

Edite: Also i just understood what you meant with your previous replies about not need a sound card, did you mean that the motherboard comes with sound care in it or something? so basically i can just ditch the sound card and not get it right?

alright back to you mate 😀
so my PC should be arriving today, however the problem i am currently facing is how i am going to switch my current windows to the new PC and about installing the drivers.

My current windows is on the SSD, with the drivers ofc, if i uninstall all the drivers but keep the windows and then just remove the ssd from my current PC to the new one, will i have the windows ready on the new PC but i just need to download the drivers, also do they download automatically?

One last note, can i format the ssd and windows without actually reomving the windows? i wanna clean the windows on the sdd before switching to the new PC incase there are some issues or viruses or such.

None of those will work. You need to format the SSD clean and install Windows fresh. Else you might face compatibility and driver issues later on.
