I want to buy a new graphics card but idk if my cpu can handle it

[Ippo_]

I've been looking to buy a gtx 1060 or maybe an rx 470. but i'm not sure if my cpu is good enough.
I have an i5-2400 3.10ghz.

I need a new gpu because right now i'm using a 660 ti that i borrowed from a friend since my own gpu died on me a couple of months ago, and my friend kinda wants his 660 ti back. Plus i want something a lil better than a 660 ti

So you guys think my cpu can handle one of the cards i mentioned?
Or do i have to upgrade my cpu first?

It should be able to, Check to see if your power supply and mobo will be compatible.

oke awesome, yeah my mobo and power supply should be compatible.
got an ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional with 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, and a 550 watt supply.

i'll probably be getting the Gigabyte GTX 1060 6gb then, thanks for your response!
