In a few months I will be looking at replacing my graphics card, but I do not know if anything else inside my PC needs changing with it to support the new card, I would also like help on what card would suit me.

ok thanks, I guess its just for a general idea on what to go for next and if like the PSU would support a new card ect, but yes agree with price changes

thats great help thank you! yeah the 1080ti looks pricey, but if the 1070 will be a big improvement i may consider this in the next few weeks, I will be fine installing the new card myself. Also with the SSD is it easy to install? and would i mainly use it for booting up my system, as it wouldn't hold many games. I picked all the parts for MY PC but had a company build it, not sure how i would get my windows 10 on the new SSD.

If i buy an SSD how do i get windows 10 on it? I don’t have my original keys that I know of. And would it mainly just be used for faster boot up time for my PC or would you recommend installing games on it?
