Need Advises - Choosing a GPU

[TigTagToes]

Hello Guys,

 

Remember before I was asking between RX 480 vs GTX 1060, but today, another questions came to my mind and I really need advises.

It seems I able to afford up till GTX 1070 G1 Gaming / MSI aftermarket card but there is some other things that make me worried a bit. 

 

Since I'm using i5 3470 CPU and a decent bronze PSU 550W +80, I wonder that will bottleneck the 1070 performance and should I go for Sapphire RX 480 Nitro instead? Or is there any other GPU you guys can suggest that good for my PC?

 

Regards,

TTT

it might bottle neck a small bit but it will still give you much better performance then a 1060/480

May I know if my PSU is good enough to support the 1070 or not?

Absolutely is! I doubt your system would even use more than 280watts under full load.

Thanks, because some of my friends keep telling me to get a better PSU e.g 1000W and above and it will cost me quite a lot too

Sorry double post

1000Watt psu's are only really necessary if youre going with a 4 way SLI and high end cpu with heavy overclocking. The new gpu's and CPU's sip power.

I see, I'm glad to hear that. Thanks mate

Any 1070 users can share their experience and advises too if possible
