I recently just got a crazy deal on a gtx 1070 founders edition. My current computers PSU is to low to run it. (Under the 500w minumum) I have an ASRock A75 PRO4 FM1 AMD A75 Motherboard in my current build and I would like to try just upgrading the PSU and seeing if this computer will work for what I need. I tested the 1070 on my friends 10 year old PC and it actually works great (he has a 1000w PSU, alienware, i7 I think, that is all I know), so Im thinking I may be able to just upgrade to a 750w PSU for like $60 instead of dropping a bunch of cash into a new system. But If I have to build a new system, i will have this PSU just incase.

PSU I will buy if it is compatible: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817438107
My biggest question is, will this power supply work on both the old motherboard I have, and the newer i7 8700k mother boards? Are all PSU the same sockets or is it different like how you have different processor sockets?
Also will the 1070 work with my MOBO? Is it compatible?
Thanks!
Jeff
