How old is your PSU and what did it power since it's tenure in your build?

You mean an RTX4060Ti. If so, for that build listed above, I wouldn't drop that card in there. You should look into a new platform, something concurrent to keep a foot above Windows 11 support.

You should stylize your post with info asked of in this thread;

Hi, sorry if my post was not in the right place, I'm from Portugal I usually buy from (pcdiga.com) I haven't a set budget but I would like to spend the least possible to game at 1080p, yes I meant the rtx 4060 ti, my power supply is from 2015

I would replace a PSU that's nearly a decade old. You need to read the thread I've linked above and stylize your current thread/post with information asked.

You're looking at a price of around one thousand euro.

This is fast at 1080p and even 1440p for some games.
There's not much that can be cut without degrading performance. You could save some money not buying a NVMe drive, and you could risk using your old Corsair PSU, but if it's out of warranty it's bad practise to keep using it.
You could re-use your old case, but at the same time this one is pretty decent for a budget case and comes equipped with fans and a USB-C port.
Less than 32Gb of RAM is going to dissapoint you very quickly, so you're better off with 32 right away.

The motherboard is usually much more expensive but the price seems to have dropped recently. It's old price was above 200 euro. It's a decent B760 motherboard. You could upgrade the CPU to a 14700K some day.

This would be a cheaper alternative, but i must warn you i do not like it at all:

It's 200 euro less, but you're throwing all this money on a much worse PC. Forget about upgrading to any decently powerfull CPU in the future.

It will run Win 11 fast and comfortable and it will do 1080p gaming, but low memory and a limited motherboard cut it down to a meh PC for kind of a lot of money.

My take on it, and you keep the chassis.

You need to ask Noctua for an LGA1700 kit, they will provide it free.

I'm curious, why are you going with that AsRock H/M.2 motherboard?

That's a really good point about a LGA1700 kit. I forgot the OP needs to order one.

You could just drop in a 4060 (non ti) it will use less power than your old 1070 so it won't stress your aging power supply as much.

 

[tiagocosta90]

I can't doo all at once, Should I do the GPU first or the cpu mobo?

Mostly because it is cheap. If there are future upgrade plans beyond 13th/14th gen probably best to just replace the motherboard again. Also why I went with DDR5.

RTX4060 or RTX4060Ti would work in your system, not perfectly, but it will still be an improvement and you can carry that card over to a future build.

GPU first. It's cheaper.

You don't need Win 11 until 2025. I expect a CPU/Mobo/RAM/etc is going to cost between 400 and 900 euro. Probably ~600
