My specs:
Cpu: i5 4430
Gpu: gigabyte aorus GTX 1080
Mobo: Asus h87 plus
Psu: be quiet pure power 600w 80+ silver
Ram: can't remember the model but 8gb ddr3
I'm planning to upgrade my cpu, mobo and ram to this:
Cpu: Intel Core i7-8700K
Mobo: MSI Z370 Tomahawk or Gigabyte Z370 HD3
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport Lt Red 16GB 2400 CL16
My questions are:
1: Which Motherboard should I get between those two?
2: This is going to be my first platform upgrade. after all the hardware is plugged in and installed,
should I install any software, format my pc or do I just plug n play?
3: my gpu is pretty large, will it fit on each of those mobos?
4: Since this is going to be a pretty expensive upgarde, how much of an improvement over my
current setup is it going to be, from 1-10. 1 being completely identical, 10 being entirely unrecognizable.
5: Will my current PSU be enough to support the new system plus the gtx 1080 gpu?
Thanks a lot for the help!
