Hello, I have a CyberPowerPC (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0111MTSZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it doesn't work very well while gaming. To speed it up, I bought an Nvidia GTX 1070, but I don't know if I fit the minimum of a "500 W power supply with one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector" Is there anyway I can figure out wether I need to buy a new power supply? (and if I do, what should I buy?)

Thanks in advance!

Then what CPU Specs would I need, and do you have one in mind?

Changing CPU can lead to more problems then it's worth: you may need better cooler for example. I was rather suggesting buying less powerful GPU. That of course depends on your monitor(s) - but if you don't run anything more the 1080p in 60 Hz, then 1070 is overkill anyway.

You currently have a FX-4300 CPU, and a substandard PSU.
You want to install a GTX 1070.

For just working with that GPU, you need a new PSU.
For any real performance improvement....you also need a new CPU
Which requires a new motherboard.
Which also requires new RAM.


Hey....you just built a whole new PC!
