    Upgrading

    Hello people,

    I've built a custom PC 2 years ago and I need to upgrade it now as I need to use it for more stuff now, my current setup is as follows:
    CPU: Intel Core i5-CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
    Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
    2x Memory: Kingston Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
    Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
    Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II Video Card
    Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
    Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
    2x Monitor: Acer H236HLbid 60Hz 23.0" Monitor

    As of right now I feel like I need a newer video card something like GTX 1070 since most newer video games needs better than my current. If im going to change my video card to gtx 1070, will i need to change any other specs with it like power supply or will everything work fine? Also what can i do with my current video card?

    Thanks.

    You can upgrade that GTX 760 to a GTX 1070 without upgrading your PSU.

    Your PC is fine, you just need a new GPU. The GTX1070 will suite you fine and no new parts are needed.
    Maybe get a SSD too.
