Upgrading my PC

[paranoidtie]

Hello there!

I'm upgrading various components in my pc and I've a few quires...

1. I have a Dell 0nw73c motherboard And I was hoping to replace the existing AMD GPU with a Zotac GeForce GTX 980Ti AMP (Extreme Edition), will this be possible?

2. Can anyone suggest a CPU that would complement the above graphics card?

3. Will i need to upgrade my PSU? (I'll attach a photo of the one I have at the moment).

I'm basically trying to upgrade my pc so that I can run new and upcoming games at 60fps while running medium to high settings at 1920x1080p. If anyone has any other suggestion on how I can achieve this i'd appreciate hearing it!

As always thanks for reading.

What are the other specs? Either way, most likely NO. Here is why:
1) The 980ti's TDP is 250 watts. Your psu is 300w. That is 50w at the most for the rest of the system off of a Dell psu (not good idea).
2) Your CPU will most likely bottleneck that GPU. Leads to 3.
3) You will have to buy a new GPU, and PSU. Well now your cpu sucks. Buy a new CPU. Oh, wait now I need a new motherboard, so the CPU fits. Buy a new Mobo. Wait, what? My Ram doesn't fit in this new mobo?! Buy new Ram.

My point is, you will be building a new pc inside of the old case (with the exception of the HDD). And if your spending all this money, youd want a pc with an ssd and more storage anyway. So, I would just build a new PC. Give me your budget and ill show you a great build.

and my budget for replacing the gpu cpu and psu was around £500

 

[badboyrog2]

you can keep your cpu and ram ...but you will absolulatly need a new motherboard and new psu
and new pc case

trying to install a gtx 980 ti in this prebuilt pc ...??? NO you can have a compatibility issues and maybe corrupted bios
because its a oem motherboard

 

[paranoidtie]

Well looks like il scavenge what I can from this pc and focus on building a new one...

Is my current cpu really worth keeping?
Would it be enough to run new games?

 

[badboyrog2]

''Is my current cpu really worth keeping?''

not really since a i5 6600k is faster , maybe try to sell your old pc

 

[paranoidtie]

I will try and sell it. I'm going to try my hand at building my first pc...

Thanks for everyone's input.

Well said, i'm in that situation right now and figured out that i'll just end up building a new pc. Lol.
