I've been out of the "build your own rig" for a while. My son has an older system that has the following key components:
ATX Case with a 750 Power Supply
Gigabyte 297X-SLI motherboard that supports PCI Express 3.x
Intel i7-4790K processor
18 GB RAM @ 1600MHz
2 TB SSD that I installed
AMD Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics card
I was wondering if I can just upgrade the Motherboard to a new Gigabyte MB that supports PCI Express 4.0 so he can upgrade the graphics card. Could I just move the CPU and RAM and other components into the system or would that create problems that I'm not foreseeing?
