Hi,
I want to upgrade my PC and am mainly looking at changing my graphics card. I'm currently running
-H81M-PLUS motherboard
-Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3.20GHz CPU
-regular DDR3 2x4gb RAM
-600W power supply
and I'm planning to change my r9 280 to MSI's gtx 1070 Gaming X
Would I need to change anything else or would my computer support and utilize it to its maximum potential?
 
Solution
perhaps add more ram, 2x8gbs, if the psu is good enough ,it should be just remove drivers for the r9, turn off, remove r8, put the gtx and turn on, install drivers
