[SOLVED] Will my motherboard and PSU support the Nvidia 3070?

[Vent98]

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card from a 1060 Super to the new 3070 but am wondering if my motherboard will support it.

My specs are...

GIGABYTE GA-B460M power - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B460M-POWER-rev-10#kf
i7- 10700k

PSU 500w

Thanks!

Mobo is fine. That's RARELY a concern.

Please tell us the brand and model of your PSU.

My PCU is Segotep 500w

mmmm. Throw that thing away.

Well, recycle that thing away! It's junk.

I'm not even comfortable having power supplies like that in my house. What if I die and some friend or family member sees it and unknowingly uses it in a build?

That bad huh... Can you recommend a PSU?

What country are you in? Prices will vary.

But given that you want to run a 3070, nothing below a Tier B on our curated PSU list is a good idea.
