Hello,
My current build is as follows:
i5-3570k
Radeon 7870
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
XFX Core 550W 80+ SLI PSU
8GB RAM DDR3 1600 MHz
Some heat sink on CPU, nothing fancy, but better than the one normally added to cpus.
1TB hard drive, if I remember correctly it is western digital blue
It is an old build (over 4 years now) and sooner or later I will have to change it all, but I dont have money for everything as of now.
First question: how important is SSD, should I get one, or skip untill later.
2: I am planning to get either gtx 1060 or 1070, thoughts? If I get 1060 I will be able to get other parts upgraded earlier, but 1070 will last me longer. So the question is: with the rest staying as it is, will 1070 be an upgrade enough to enjoy all the upcoming games in 2017
3: Will my motherboard be compatibile with my new GPU?
4: I guess I should get some more powerful power supply, thoughts?
5: Should I get some more RAM, or can it be delayed?
6: Upgrading CPU and GPU at the same time is too much for me, is it a good call to first replace GPU, will my cpu be much of a bottle neck?
Thanks for any and all helpful suggestions
Edit: Found PSU model and that my RAM is DDR3 1600 MHz
