I want to upgrade my graphic card from GTX1060 3GB to GTX 1080 ti 11GB but I don't know if my computer specs can support it, the specs are as followed:

Processor: Intel i7-6700K
Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-S2H
Memory: 8GB DDR4
Current card: GTX 1060 3GB
PSU: Antec 500W
Screen: Asus 1920x1080 V228h

What should I upgrade first before I upgrade the graphic card?
Thank you!

There is no reason for you to upgrade to a 1080ti with your monitor. Your monitor will be the bottleneck. For a 1080p 60hz panel a 1060 6gb is plenty. Even a 1070 would be going a little overboard. But if you upgrade your monitor to a high refresh rate monitor or a 1440p/4k panel, then I would get a different PSU. The Antec PSU is not a great PSU. I would look for a 600 watt PSU from EVGA, Seasonic, or Corsair. You should also look at getting a 16gb kit of RAM. 8gb is a little light for a 1080ti.


This would be a good PSU for your rig if you add a 1080ti

So basically if I wanna go as high as 1080 11GB that means I need to upgrade my, screen; psu; ram?
Also, does my motherboard support that graphic card?

for a 1080p screen you really should not go beyond a gtx 1070 unless it was a 144hz monitor

just wasting money otherwise
