Hello.

I have decided to upgrade to the gtx 1070, when it comes out. However, i am not sure if i need to upgrade some of my other parts. The thing is, i do not want my other parts to slow down the 1070, atleast not slow it down too much. I hope some of you can tell me what is needed to upgrade. Below, you can see my full specs.

CPU: AMD FX-4130

Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz

Current video card: Sapphire 2GB, HD7850, GDDR5

Power Supply: corsair cx 430

Honestly just about everything needs upgraded if you want to run the 1070 to it's full potential. CPU will be a big bottleneck, motherboard can't properly support anything close to fast enough to keep up with a 1070. I suggest an new i5, motherboard, 8 to 16Gb of ddr4, and a good quality 550w PSU.
