Hey guys.
I never post on /g/, but I need to ask you something today.
I wanna buy a GTX 1070, is it a good GPU ?
But I was wondering some things first : What other components of my PC should I change ?
Pic related. I built this rig in 2013 iirc, but I've never updated a rig.
Do I have to change my RAM ? My alimentation ? Please tell me what I should do before buying a 1070. Thanks.

Yeah it's a great GPU, go for it
upgrade to 16gb of ram too

A 1070 will certainly be a good upgrade, the rest of your rig is good enough for at least another 2 years imo. Another 8gigs of ram will noticeable improve the performance of your pc too, maybe make that your next upgrade.

GTX 1070 user here:
It is a phenomenal GPU but it runs VERY hot. I recommend utilizing Afterburner.
Honestly though: I am not convinced that spending 400 dollars was worth it. I figure I could have gotten comparable performance for less money.

8gb will be fine for gaming, but for more multitasking workloads, 16gb might be better

1070 wrecks everything at 1080p, more ram would be QoL improvement but a CPU upgrade might be worth considering since it would have problems keeping up with 1070 performance in AAA titles
