Hello. So I got an offer from a friend to buy a ASUS 1070 ti from him. He has alot of crypto mining rigs and now hes selling parts cheaper.. And another question is, is it worth it to change from my MSI GTX 1060 OC Edition and pay up a little in exchange of ASUS 1070 TI also another question will VS550 PSU be enought to support it? My rig:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
SSD SAMSUNG EVO 850 250GB
MSI GTX 1060 3 GB OC
8 GB RAM 3200 MHZ
Monitor: asus vg248qe 144 hz 1ms 1080p full hd
Thanks for answears dont judge me im kinda new in pc building

That PSU is on the cheaper side. A good quality 550w PSU would have no problem powering your system and a GTX 1070ti. I would invest in a quality PSU to protect your components and investment in a better GPU.

As for using a mining card, I did exactly that. I was running a GTX1060 3gb and bought a used 1070 from a friend of mine who had mined with it for about 8 months. I am super happy. The GPU is 100% reliable so far, runs nice and cool, and my benchmarks match what others on the internet are getting on their systems. However, that does not mean your experience will be similar.

The jump from 1060 3gb to 1070 is significant! Especially on more demanding titles the extra performance and vram means your FPS is way higher and you don't...
