One of my friends just graduated and does not want his gaming pc anymore, so he's selling all the parts for it and offered me the GTX 1080 Strix for a very reasonable price. I want to know if I can upgrade my current rig with it, here are the specs:
- I5-7600
- 4*4GB DDR4
- Gigabyte ga z170x gaming 3
- Not sure about the power supply, but I can eventually get a new one if it needs an enormous power requirement

You need to be absolutely sure about the make and model of your PSU and how old it is. On another note, if power(quality, wattage) is not the limitation, you're good to go with dropping in the Asus Stric GTX1080. Please mention the make and model of your case and if you have an aftermarket cooler since clearance issues can impeded your upgrade process.
