Question Upgrading from gtx 970 to rtx 2070

[medard95]

Hey,

I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from gtx 970 to rtx 2070, and my PSU from 450W to 650W

I'm not really sure if my motherboard can take the rtx 2070, and i also have to change my PSU to a bigger one, because what i have now is only 450W.
So basically my question is, would the rtx 2070 run on my setup if i change the PSU also?
Is there any good aftermarket rtx2070? or should i just pick whats the cheapest.

PC specs:
GIGABYTE Z370 HD3
i5-8600
GTX 970
450W psu
16gigs of ram
etc.

Your graphic card should be fine. All graphic cards are compatable if your motherboard has enough pcie lanss which this a GIGABYTE Z370 HD3 has.

2070 recommended power supply should be 500-550watt. You got a lot of room for overclockimg if you plan to do that.
