[SOLVED] I just wanna know if my motherboard can support an i5-8400 with a gtx 1070 or 1070ti

I just wanna know if my motherboard can support an i5-8400 with a gtx 1070 or 1070ti and a 32GB RAM or 16GB.
Also do i need to get a new power supply for this cause my current pc only has Power Supply 450W Energy Star
my motherboard currently right now is:LENOVO SKYBAY :SDK0J40700 WIN 3258070003670.
This was a prebuild gaming pc i bought around 2017 and i wanna upgrade it.

I searched that and came up with a list of boxes that have a "skybay" motherboard. Might be more helpful if you posted the computer model.

Highly doubtful. What CPU is installed now?

 

[Dugimodo]

I thinks that's a 6 series intel motherboard and if that's the case then no.

No, you can't put a Core i5 8400 in that computer.

 

[khadkamon]

[ThatVietGuy]

Core i7 6700

After putting core i7 6700 can it still support for gtx 1070 and 32Gb of ram ?

Nvm dumb question thnx so much but do I need to get a new power supply for all this I’m upgrading to?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Yes, PSUs from prebuilt PCs are usually poor quality units.

You need at least a 550W PSU from a well known manufacturer - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119

Hey so for the cpu do i buy:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAJ3G8P86149&Description=intel%20i-7%206700&cm_re=intel_i-7_6700-_-9SIAJ3G8P86149-_-Product

Or:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIABVR89K5854&Description=intel%20i-7%206700&cm_re=intel_i-7_6700-_-19-117-560-_-Product

 

[ThatVietGuy]

There's no difference between the two other than the seller and the (minuscule) price difference. Despite that, I would go with the second one just because the page looks more like the seller page I'm used to.

 

[khadkamon]

I should I update the bios before I put the new cpu correct ?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

No, that OEM motherboard should support the CPU with no updates.
