Question for compatibility

[ccxd47]

Hi there It's my first time in here.

I'm planning to buy a GTX 1070. I am really looking to purchase the Aorus Extreme GTX 1070 and just wondering if it would fit on my DS3H mATX mobo and Carbide Spec 01





My current set up is:
B250M-DS3H mATX
I5 7500
2x8GB G Skill @ 2400
120GB SSD
1TB HDD
Corsair Spec 01 Carbide
EVGA Bronze non modular 600W with 1x8pin and 1x6+2

It fits..

on a side note, thats a fairly weak psu, black screens , boot loops are possible.

Yes, the GPU is compatible with your mobo and it will fit in your carbide cabinet. There wont be any problems.

what psu would you recommend? I thought PSU bronze, gold, and etc just means for efficiency. Can you please give me a good PSU. I could upgrade next month for the PSU or at the end of the month

They do just mean efficiency, and nothing else. A better power supply for a low budget would be the Corsair CX450M or CX550M.

Yes, you are right. bronze, gold, platinum indicates the efficiency of a PSU. And if you want to upgrade your PSU, i would recommend the Corsair RM550x or RM650x.
And also do check the MSI Gaming X 1070 or Asus ROG Strix 1070.

Thanks I made the wrong choice for picking a non modular but a RM 650X seems a good buy it's $134.99 cad and I'm also planning to overclock and upgrade to cannonlake or 1700x next year when I start some of my projects. Thank you guys

Actually I've been waiting for the aorus 1070 for 3 weeks now. I play Dota 2 and pubg and i can't really play these without lagginng due to not having a gpu at the moment since I sold my 1050 ti. I might justconsider the Gaming X by MSI for $629 CAD. Thought it was smart to get a 1050ti and wait for volta because these ethereum miners inflated the price for gpus....

From my personal experience, had bad experiences with Gigabyte and their customer care, so i recommended the msi gaming x. And i can guarantee you, the MSI Gaming X has one of the best cooling.

That isn't a good buy for Canadian markets. You can get a similar performing/quality unit for $40 less. 550w is plenty, too.
