Hello experts :D i would like to ask you i can buy an GTX 1070 right away or i need to upgrade my computer components.
Right now i have this mother board:
H81M-GL here its specs:

2.0 x 16 is plenty for any current gpu

amazon, newegg, Superbiiz, ncix, b&h, to name a few

Sorry here more details:

CPUs i5 4570

Case : Cooler Master ( really big )

Power supply : 350 watt

I dont have any preferences about quality in games i just wanna play the ones that are coming out right now; my Graphic Card is pretty old ( RADEON 6670 ), that is not enogh for latest games.

Thanks in advance

you are going to need a new power supply first

350w is not enough



you need a tier 1 or 2 model in 450w or better from this list:

a gtx 1060 6gb would be a good match for your processor for 1080p gaming



a gtx 1070 is a good choice for 1440p
