Hey guys im very new to building rigs. I wanted to upgrade my radeon 6970 to a asus rog 1070 gpu. My stats are:
i5-2500k cpu
Corsair vengeance 2x 4gb ram
Thermaltake tr2 600w psu
Z68MA-D2H-B3 Mobo
Windows 7 OEM
NZXT guardian mid tower case

Is it worth it to only upgrade the gpu or do you guys recommend upgrading ram/psu/cpu/mobo as well?

Have you overclocked that 2500k? A 3770k will do pretty well with the 1070, my suggestion would be to get that 1070 first, and see how well performs with the 2500k, that CPU is a nice overclocker so you should give it a try before getting a new CPU. As for the RAM, depends on the use that you'll be giving to your rig.

you would need to upgrade to an i7 3770k and maybe overclock a bit to properly use a 1070
