Title pretty much tells you all you need to know about my situation. In a turn of events tonight I've been gifted a used but working EVGA 3090 card to replace my seven year old 1070.

My current system hardware specs are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core (upgraded from Ryzen 5 last year)

GPU: MSI 1070

MoBo: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK

PSU - Corsair CX-550 550 Watt

x4 8GB Installed Memory

I also have a 2tb SSD drive with my OS and games installed, and 4 8tb HDD for media.

My main concern is with needing to replace my MoBo with a x3 PCi board and worries about my PSU not being powerful enough. I'm not particularly worried about my tower is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro PH-ES614PC_BK.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for off topic, but I just had a little panic.

1070

seven year old

Am I old?

Oh no, my first GPU is 23 years old now ...

I found my Riva TNT 1 in the attic the other day.

I am pretty sure I had a Riva 128 before that one, though.

Fortunately you go through this enough times and you just start to accept that yeah, you're pretty old. The constant joint pain helps.
