Upgrade possibilities for prebuilt CyberPowerPC
Upgrade possibilities for prebuilt CyberPowerPC
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
You're looking to build or upgrade a gaming PC with a budget around $800, focusing on future expandability. You’ve identified a CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Desktop (as linked) that includes an Intel Core i5-7400 processor, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. Your primary goal is to assess the PC's upgrade potential, specifically considering whether upgrading to a more powerful GPU like a GTX 1070 in the future is feasible, along with necessary PSU upgrades. You’re interested in determining the overall long-term upgradeability of this system.
On the CPU side of upgrades you can go upto a 7700k. I would reccomend looking at an AMD Ryzen PC. They will be supporting CPUs on the same socket through 2020.(AM4) On the GPU side you can go up to a 1080 ti and to the next gen. The only issue is that you will have to replace your PSU for some upgrades to meet the power requirement... I would reccomend more ram first though
New PSU
SSD
More RAM
Better GPU later (you know that's only the 1060
3GB
, right?)
CPU, only within that same socket.
All possible.
One of the first things you should consider is a full wipe and reinstall of the OS. Get rid of all that initial bloatware.

“I'm exploring the world of gaming PCs and am looking for recommendations. I’m particularly interested in finding a good hard drive – specifically a 240GB or 500GB SSD (Solid State Drive) to store my games. I’m new to this, so I'm hoping to find a reliable option like the one offered at Best Buy.”
