Hi all,
I built my PC 5 years ago and have a few questions about potential parts and upgrades. I particularly want to upgrade my GPU.
My specs currently are:
MSI GTX 970
I5 - 4690K
8 gb ddr3 hyperxfury ram
msi z97 gaming 3 motherboard
WD 1tb 3.5 inch HDD
Samsung 850 evo SSD
Be Quiet! BK010 Be quiet shadow rock (after market cpu cooler)
Corsair CX600M PSU
My questions are as follows (and I appreciate any help at all with any of them):
Thanks in advance !!

My questions are as follows (and I appreciate any help at all with any of them):
- If i upgrade my GPU to something on the level of the rx 5700, will I have to upgrade my CPU to prevent bottlenecking?
- Should I add 8 more gb of ddr3 ram or should i replace my ram entirely with 16gb of either ddr3 or ddr4 ram?
- Will my current motherboard be compatible with these newer GPU's and CPU's?
- Im looking to add bluetooth to my PC; should i use a bluetooth card or a dongle?
- Will all these changes require me to upgrade my PSU?
- Would you recommend simply upgrading certain parts or building a new PC from scratch entirely?
- Generally any recommendations when upgrading.
Thanks in advance !!
