Old build for GTX1070.

[TJ 345]

Hey guys!
I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from GTX 960 to GTX 1070.My build contains a 4th gen i5 CPU and Asus h87 mobo with 8 GB of ram and 550W PSU. Is this build OK to handle 1070 or 1080 maybe. Let me know if u think I should upgrade anything in this build. Thanks.

What is the make and model of the PSU?

 

[lucas_7_94]

Maybe a little overkill for 1080p the GTX 1070, but yes, will work. Don't think going to GTX 1080 for 1080p, but which PSU do you have?

EDIT: Theyeti win!

I might get a 1440p monitor in future. It's a Cooler Master 550W Non Modular PSU.

Then GTX 1070 is choice for you.

Not the best PSU, but it will handle it, think about upgading it later.

EVGA Supernova B2, XFX TS/Proseries or Seasonic. Check tier 1 http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I can't recommend the EVGA SuperNova P2 650W enough!
