Additional Comments: Was looking at a Geforce 1080Ti as a GPU but I am a bit noobish when it comes to upgrading. Can my CPU and PSU handle it or will it bottleneck? Also will i benefit from a SSD and move my OS to the SSD. Am I able to move my OS to the SSD without having to do a reinstall?
Also when would I have to upgrade my motherboard? or
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want to upgrade because my system was made about 4/5 years ago and feel it needs a bit of TLC
