graphics card Upgrading from a GTX 770 to a 1070

[Rysdan]

Will my PSU and MOBO support a 1070? 

I have been looking around for a new GPU, and I decided to get a MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G. I just want to know if the current hardware I have is enough to support this card?

 

My PC
CPU:Intel i5 4670k OC @4.20
8GB ram
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Motherboard: MSI Z97-G55
GPU:GTX 770 MSI

Why? This doesnt make any sense, the 1070 use less power than 770

It's not a good quality PSU.

It not about power usage, its about the quality of the PSU.

Well I really want a new PSU too, a fully modular one, get some custom cables, but what would be a good PSU then. I don't really need higher than 650?
This is my first ever PC build ever and I built it in 2014 July

can I have your 770? Lol

500W is enough for a 1070. Budget for a new PSU? I would recommend the EVGA 550W G2, never heard one fail.

Around $120, £100

As I said, the EVGA 550W G2 would work well. Otherwise, Corsair RMx/RMi are very good too.

as mentioned above, evga G2 550w is a good choice. if you wanna go SLI you can also consider the GQ 750W for 85 euros.
