Hi All,
I have been given a gaming PC and it has been so long since I have been invloved in hardware that I have no idea where it stands.
The bottom line Is I want to buy at GTX 1080 and put it straight into this box (it will fit). Will my CPU or Motherboard bottle neck it? Is it worth doing?
Can you please give me advice on what I should do?
The box has in it:
Motherboard - M5A78L-M/USB3 (I believe this board is PCIe 2.0 16 x 1 as that what it reads on the board itself - https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/M5A78LMUSB3/gallery/
CPU - AMD FX-6300 - http://cpuboss.com/cpu/AMD-FX-6300
RAM - 16GB Giel RAM DDR3
Power Supply 500w Couger
Current GPU - AMD Radeon R7 370 ( I belive this card is PCIE 3.0)
Do I need to build from scratch to get this card and it be worth it? or can I just slot it in? or do I need to replace some things?
Thanks for all your help
