Im thinking it's time to upgrade my GPU but i was wondering if my current setup would be compatible to run it or would have any issues with it. Aiming to move on from gtx 770 to a 1070 but not to sure about which model to choose from either. Any suggestions or help would be great :D

Here's my current setup :
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670
PSU: Corsair CM 750W
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 SuperClocked ACX Cooler 2GB
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 XMS3
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
CASE: N300

Will be getting Samsung 850 evo 250gb SSD at the same time too


Thanks in advance :)

Gtx 1070 will be great in your PC ;).

For the model, if you don't mind fancy features like RGB lighting and or will not manually overclocking your card, I would recommend you the Gigabyte G1 Gaming or EVGA SuperClocked . Because they fit easier in your N300 case, they have a good factory Overclock, better PSU compatibility with a single power connector and are among the cheapest models around.
But you can pick any card you like, it will do the job, just keep in mind the card size and the power connectors to not need to change your psu or the case in case of incompatibility.

Thanks for the input :) I've asked a few friends and they've all pointed to EVGA too so i'll go for that one. I wont be doing much overclocking anyway.

thanks everyone :)
