“I am definitely planing to upgrade the gpu to a gtx 1070 8gb or lower gigabyte in the future. I wanted to know if I could just replace the gpu or should I upgrade the power supply and motherboard or can I just plug in and plug out graphics cards?”

You should be able to swap it out easily but the card that comes with it plays BF1 Smooth as glass
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For the graphics card it depends, are you doing 1080, 1440 or 4k monitor? I still have the 1060 that comes in here with a 1080p screen and it works great. I dont even need to put too much of a overclock on it to get over 60fps on high settings for most games. The motherboard is my next upgrade, I plan on going with a Asus Z-170 Deluxe board. I'm not sure of the wattage of the power supply but I wouldn't put a 1070 in there until after the power supply just to be sure. Before you do anything I'd honestly say upgrade the cpu cooler from the stock intel one. I bought the Corsair h100i v2 and instantly a 25-degree drop from idling and more when under load. If you want to ask me anything else add me on the LinusTechTips forum, my username is Prophet_M. Have a good one.
