Hey all, as the title suggests, I'm wondering if and how much my pc will bottleneck a new gtx 1070.
Current build
GPU - GTX 770
MB - MSI z87 g45
CPU i5 4670k (3.4 stock)
Ram - Corsair 8 gb
120 gb ssd
I have roughly a grand to upgrade with and I want to do this before Mass Effect Andromeda is out . .so this could go two ways.
First way: I upgrade to a gtx 1070 and add 8 more gb of ram to my current build
Second way: I succumb to my purist urges and buy a new build to stick my current gtx 770 in. The new build would be an Asus Strix Z270-E gaming, i5 7600k, Corsair bengeance LED 16gb and a corsair cpu fan.
It seems obvious to go for the 1070 and ram upgrade but ngh, those new parts are so shiny. It's so hard. Please help.
PS I'm in New Zealand so 1000 doesn't go far when upgrading a pc.
