OK so ive had my current PC now for a few years...its a cyber-power PC i purchased from best buy since purchase i have swapped out the power supply with a seasonic 750W semi modular and the graphics card..i upgraded to a nvidia GTX 970..the CPU is an I7 3770k overclocked to 4.2 gigahertz
with 8 gigs of super talent ddr3 1333 ram...would i gain any performance from adding another 8 gigs of ram and upgrading my GTX 970....or do i look into building a new PC overall starting with cpu and MOBO...i havent been able to discern if my current rig could handle a more powerful graphics card without bottle necking. I have been out of the loop on tech since i have purchased this rig...and what upgrades i have done came from advice from these forums....so i need you help again guys ! im also still using an old school hard-drive......SSds confuse me lol
Increasing RAM by another 8 gigabytes will likely have minimal impact on speed unless you’re utilizing nearly the entire 8 gigabyte capacity. I’ve previously encountered reports suggesting a general Windows performance boost, though this may not significantly improve gaming results. Upgrading to a 1070 or 1080 graphics card wouldn't be problematic. The processor shouldn't present any difficulties; however, my primary worry would be the motherboard included with the CyberPower system. If it’s a standard, non-custom board, it should function adequately.

My primary worry pertains to the motherboard initially included with the CyberPower system. If it’s a standard retail board rather than a custom-designed one, it should function adequately. It was an Asustek P8Z77-V LX…and while playing Fallout 76, I consistently utilize 100% of my RAM; I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium.
