Hey, so this is my current build:
CPU: i5-3570k (not OC but I can OC if needed)

GPU: GTX 760

PSU: Antec BP550 Plus (550W
)
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LK

Monitor: BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz 1ms 24 inch

CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Frio

I'm hoping to purchase a significant GPU upgrade today but I'd like to make sure that my CPU/PSU can handle it and that my motherboard is compatible.

I'm planning to get either a GTX 1060/1070/1080 (just one)

I can afford them all, I'd just like to know which would best suit my current build.

I play a lot of Overwatch/World of Warcraft/CSGO and also like to play games like Witcher 3 & GTA V and most new titles that come out.

My main concern is that my PSU might not be able to handle a 1060/1070/1080 or that my CPU may bottleneck these cards.

Thanks in advance for your help.

a 1070 is optimal, however it would require you to overclock your cpu to keep up 100+ fps target



your psu is enough, just make sure whatever card you get, it has the proper pcie cables to power it

Does anyone know which 1070 card would be best for my setup?

The Galax ones look nice, people told me to stay away from EVGA...there are just so many different brands of cards and lots of different sales going on so it's hard to make a choice.
