Need some opinions on my Psu & Cpu

[joec88.jc]

Hey i currently have a A power Ak series 680w psu , ive had the pc for 2yrs+ with no problems. I recently replaced my gtx 750 ti to a 6gb gtx 1060 single fan. I was wondering if i should upgrade my psu and Cpu to a better one or if the ones i have are sufficient enough. Thx

Cpu: Amd A10 7700k
8gb Ram Crucial Ballistix Sport
Gtx 1060 6gb Single Fan
SSD HD : Corsair Neutron Series
Windows 7

If you're not having issues, I wouldn't bother. If you upgrade, you're probably going to upgrade to Ryzen or current gen. Intel processors, so you're going to have to buy a new motherboard and RAM on top of the processor.

Yes replace it. It should not be put near any gaming pc.
Fake, mislabeled and counterfeit product.

Most definitely replace that PSU shaped object ASAP. In many titles that CPU will hold back a 1060 from performing to it's full potential. if you want to fully utilize that GPU you are going to need a not only a CPU upgrade but a platform(cpu, motherboard and ram) upgrade.

You are risking your whole system and possibly a fire with your current PSU.

If you want to upgrade, this is a good starting point. What would your budget be?

Well, make sure you get a reliable and quality one. A bad PSU can damage your other components.
