Hello everyone, I am looking to upgrade my pc and I am not sure which CPU too choose because I need a 3rd generation CPU for my mobo but I would like to get the best one for gaming. Also would a 1070 be compatible with my mobo because I am looking to upgrade that as well a long side with the PSU if I get the GPU.
I would like to go with the i7 series 3rd gen.
My current specs are:
i5-3570k (3.4GHz)
GTX 960
Z77 MPOWER
16GB
550PSU
No it would not be compatible as the 8th gen core processors require the 300 series chipsets. In order to get that CPU you would need to get a new mobo under the 300 series chipset and DDR4 memory. I dont think you will need to upgrade your PSU but if you plan to OC or SLI then I would. otherwise it should be fine
