Hello everyone,

Im a PC gamer and lately I have been struggling to run games in High setting on a 1080p monitor. Im thinking in buying a GTX 1060 but Im not sure if it will be enough to run games at 1080p/60fps on High/Ultra setting with my current build. My build looks like :

i7 4770k
GTX 670
16 GBs DDR3
Unknown mini ITX Motherboard
500w PSU

Will a GPU upgrade give me the performance I want or should i upgrade my whole PC?
Possible Upgrade looks like:
i5 6600k
GTX 1060
8 GBs DDR4
Micro ATX Motherboard
Same PSU, Case, and SSD
Budget ~$600

Thank you,

SuperTroll

My PSU is a EVGA 500W with a model number of 100-W1-0500-KR. So your suggestion is to upgrade the GPU only, but using a 1070 instead?
