Upgrading my PC

[AgunneR]

Hello all!

I have been wanting to upgrade my pc for quite some time now and I finally think that I am ready to do so. To start off, I plan on purchasing a 144htz monitor and I am planning on playing battlefield 1, and other new games like it. This is my current pc build  http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Q8cxY and I am looking into upgrading my graphics card (open to any suggestions if this isnt the best plan of action). I was thinking about buying the gtx 1070, but I am worried that the rest of the parts wont be able to support it, if that makes sense. I dont want to buy a $400 graphics card if the rest opf the parts will just hold it down. WIll that be the case, and if so what do you guys recommend that I upgrade?

 

 Thanks all!

if he was going to get a 1070 why in the world would he get a 6100? Thats going to be even more of a bottle neck.

Yeah, that cpu is going to bottle neck a 1070 in more gpu intensive games. You can pick up a 6500 or 6600k and you will be good. Of course, with a new motherboard and ram.

so pretty much a new build is the way to go?
