Hi guys, I would greatly appreciate any expertise for my issue, thank you so much!
I have a Z370 motherboard with a 8700k CPU, a 1200W PSU(from 2016), x4 RAM 16GB 2400 speed and a 980ti GPU and I want to upgrade my GPU to a 4070 Super.
My worry is that it may not be that simple, to just put a 4070 super in my system so here are my questions:
1. Will my motherboard work well and not hinder any performance for the 4070Super? Or should I upgrade my MB/CPU too.
2. Will a Z370 motherboard with PCIE 3.0 lower the performance of the 4070 super that has PCIE 4.0?
3. I have a Corsair 1200W PSU from 2016, should I get a new PSU for the 4070Super(incase psu is too weak for the gpu) or just a new PSU in the event my current PSU blows up or dies?
And please feel free to give any complete advice for my system as I am willing to upgrade the Motherboard and CPU and RAM and PSU to have the best experience and safety as I do have a old PSU for sure.
Main point is I only want to upgrade my GPU, but if I need to consider other things please let me know.
Cant wait to hear from you, cheers.
