[SOLVED] Looking at a GPU?

[LonelyAlpha7]

So I am looking for new GPU I was thinking for getting the 3070/3080 but and I was doing some research and talked to a couple of friends who know a lot about computers. And one of them said that my pc might not be powerful enough to run the 3080. However the other 1 said it was. So I just wanted to ask here on peoples opinion to see if my spec can run a 3070/3080.

Specs are Here:
CPU: i7 8700K 3.7GHz
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4 3000MHz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8GB GDDR5X
PSU: Be quiet Dark Power Pro 11 850W 80 Plus Platinum
Case: NZXT H440 White
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H105 Extreme
Wireless-N PCIe Adapter: ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps
M.2: Samsung PM961 256GB M.2 NVME
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD

With my monitors being ROG Strix XG32VQR, 32 inch (2560x1440), 144Hz x2.

Just wanted to ask before I possible get one.

Hey there

Your spec can run it fine. I wouldn't be worrying too much The 8700k is a great gaming chip now, and with an OC down the line for another few years most likely.

PSU is plenty for any new card.

8700k is no slouch by any stretch. It'll keep up with fps demand no problem, be it 3000 gen or next.

I agree with @keith12 that you should be good with a 3080 no problem and you have a good power supply with the proper capacity, which is critical for any GPU upgrade.
