Prebuilt pc upgrade

Forger12

Hello

I am from the US and I have a budget of $400-500. I recenetly bought a prebuilt gaming pc from cyber power and I have little knowledge on how to upgrade it. If I could get a list of the best upgrades I should make that would be great! My aim is set for gaming specifically on the upcoming black ops 4 black out coming out soon. I know my budget is only 400 but I am planning to save as time goes by for upgrades.

I'm guessing this is just a generic PSU, replace it with something better.

Maybe sell the gtx 1070 and get a 1080ti, but the rest of the system is pretty solid.

Maybe the psu is crappy i don't know.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

that all looks pretty nice. You won't need a heavier duty graphics card for 1080p gaming. Maybe swap the powersupply, and maybe get a bigger cooler for the cpu, 120mm liquid cooler is a little small. I like to recommend at least 240mm of radiator per component being cooled

Do you have any recommendations on how I should go about selling it?

I agree this pc gets really hot.

id suggest then also maybe swapping the case fans for aftermarket components. Typically, (most) manufacturers put the cheapest fans they can in the case to save money. Make sure to get high cfm fans for the case, and high static pressure fans for the radiator

There's always people selling/bidding for gpu's on ebay. I sold 2 graphics cards back in january for above msrp. But then again, they were in high demand because of the crypto craze

no need to sell the 1070, especially since you will lose money, also you should upgrade your cpu, especially if you do decide to get a 1080ti

well that mobo should be compatible with the 2700x because amd made the 2nd gen compatible with their previous ones

Right but as i was looking at reviews this mobo seems like garbage compared to other motherboards.
