Hi im new to computer details, i have i-5 3.2 gigahertz processor, 8gb ram, 1tb HDD, 300gb SSD and old raddeon 7700 Graphic card, i can have good deal on gtx 1070 and im wonder if my pc will even handle that card right. thank you
That PSU model definitely needs to get upgraded and replaced for some other high-quality unit. Does this system support both the LEGACY and UEFI boot modes ?
Actually the problem is most of the newer/latest gen GPUs require UEFI mode to boot properly, though there is no hard and fast rule to this. The GTX 1070 may or may not work on this system, but I'm not fully sure though.
Honestly speaking, I'm not 100% sure about this, so that's why I didn't respond to your PM as well. I think the GTX 780 Ti should work, but please wait for others to post a reply as well.
I don't want to misguide you though. Maybe others might have a better solution and answer to this.....
