I'm planning on buying a gtx 1070 gpu. Is it okay to upgrade GPU first before the processor?
Specs: i3-4330 / r7 370 gpu / 12gb ram / b85m-d3h gigabyte mobo

Thank you in advance!

You are going to want/need a better PSU for a 1070. That psu cant even deliver 400w where it counts as the 12v rail is only 30a(360w). It also seems to have no pci-e power connectors.

Thank you. I have 500w PSU and also will it hold that much of a potential? I'm also planning on upgrading it on i5 or something after.

 


I have the TACENS MP500 PSU. Getting an i5 after.. is the one then. Thank you so much for the quick reply. Gonna upgrade soon next week!

 


How many PCIE connections for Graphic Cards on that PSU?
