Hello, I am new to this forum, so please pardon me if I make any mistakes regarding the posting or threads.

Moving on, I have this computer for close to 2 years. I just want to know if the stats of my computers are still decent enough to upgrade my graphics card (currently owning the 760).

Every now and then, I have this issue whereby my computer would present an error to me regarding the over-temperature of the CPU, to which somehow frustrates me despite looking up solutions everywhere online. The frequency of the error has died down but it still happens.
Now i am not a computer geek so please pardon me if there is anything I am lacking.

Here are the full statistics of my computer via the validator from CPUID.

Question of the day is: Do I need to upgrade anything if I were to say, decide on upgrading to a GTX 1070 or 1080?

DDR reports its actual frequency 667 would make it DDR3 1333 which is the original JEDEC spec. It was increased to 1600 towards the end of DDR3. Anything above that is considered an overclock.

If you look at the module lines it shows as 1337 (which is kind of funny). Caused by small differences from 100 Mhz BCLK.

Motherboard is a bit wasted in that configuration since you can't overclock the 4771, and you have a decent mid-range GPU. The computer itself is capable of handling much better graphics cards with the right power supply.

Anything up to and including the GTX1080 would make this computer perform with the best of machines.

Yeah , the pc is ok but i don't think that your ram have only 666 mhz , it's too low , anyway if it's true you can try to get a ram with higher frequency , your video card is decent but consider upgrading it in the future .

So the question is, is there anything I have to upgrade in case my computer is unable to handle the card (1070/1080)?
 


The ram number gets cut in half on cpu-z looking at individual sticks. DDR3 does not even come in at that speed.
So his ram is really running at 1333, and he might have faster ram then that, just did not manually configure BIOS to run at the higher clock speed.
