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

 

Thanks for the help :)

I agree with this guy, but I recommend getting a better PSU if you want to overclock and sufficiently run an i7 3770K and a GTX 1070.

 

Maybe you should get a good quality 600w/650w PSU, which should be enough

System

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100
  • GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56 (Re-flashed to Vega 64 w/ undervolt and OC)
  • RAM: Patriot Viper IV 3200Mhz CL16
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GAMING B550 
  • PSU: Cooler Master 750W MWE 80+ White

550w should be enough
