Hi. I've decided to get the Acer XB271HU and GTX 1080, but need help deciding whether the other parts need to be upgraded or not. I don't know how much they will affect performance. The most demanding game i can think of will be Witcher 3, I have a backlog of games to go through so I'll mostly be playing older titles.

The monitor and graphics card already puts me over £1000 so I don't really want to spend that much more on the other parts if I don't need to. As long as they're good value for money then it should be fine. I'm not bothered by how they look.

CPU: Intel i5 3570k
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Z77
Cooler: Corsair H80
Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2 x 4GB
PSU: Need a new one
Case: Corsair 550D
 
Solution
I think you're good.
Adding a quality PSU like a Seasonic Prime or a Corsair RMx or an EVGA G3 and you got all you need.

Maybe adding another ram kit to 16gb, depending on if you need it

Yeah I'll see how it runs first and add another 8GB if needed. What wattage should I go with for the PSU?
