I have an ASUS Essentio Series CM6870-USO12S
Processor - i7-3770 cpu @3.4GHz Quad Core
RAM -16GB
Graphics Card-NVIDIA GeForce GT 630

I would really like to upgrade my graphics card, but I an having problems narrowing down which one would work. I have ran this set up for over three years and I like the performance, but I want to run my games at better settings. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
 
heavyartillary9 I'm willing to change out my power supply, but I believe currently it's at 300w. I know the larger cards require more wattage and any suggestions there is much appreciated as well.
 
I was looking at an EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDr5. You all think that would do well for another 3 years or so. Or is the 1070 really worth the extra 200 for it? I'm going to upgrade my power supply as well. The 1060 needs a min. of 400w and 500w for a 1070. I thought about going up to maybe 750w or so. Any suggestions on a good and reputable power supply?
 
Did you do this? I have a cm6870, bought a new (650 watt) power supply, and a gtx 1060, but I can't get video from the 1060. My old card (an amd radeon 770) still works fine..
