I've recently upgraded to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, and got 8GB ddr3 ram along with it.
I'm now wondering if my processor is too slow for this setup. I have Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz, and my motherboard is MSI X58 Pro-E (MS-7522).
I would really like to not have to buy a new motherboard, ddr4 ram, and a new processor. Is that possible? whelp I'm clueless.
 
Solution
No, it's too old for a simple upgrade and nothing new is compatible with old generations except GPU of course. and maybe disk(s) if you want to keep them.
So your minimum is CPU + MB + RAM (DDR4) and possibly a PSU.
