Hi Guys,
I am considering upgrading my old ASUS computer to better handle 1080p gaming, however i'm uncertain about a few things.
Current Specs:
Model Number: ASUS CM6870 https://www.asus.com/us/Tower-PCs/CM6870/
Processor: Intel Core i7 3770 3.4 ghz
Power Supply: AC Bel HBA008-ZA1GT 350 W
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 (4x4GB RAM)
Graphics Card: GT 640
I want to upgrade my Power Supply so that the computer can run a GT 1070 Graphics Card
Will this be possible given my current Specs? Will there be any bottleneck issues or problems with installation/fitting?
Additionally, will i notice a significant improvement in gaming or is it a lot better to just build a new PC from scratch / buy a new prebuilt system?
Any help is appreciated. I am very new to PC building so if there is any additional info needed please let me know.
Cheers!
