unless it is stolen, that'd be a hell of a purchase at $1600, the CPU alone was $1000..

but for strictly gaming not the best thought out.. but plenty for gaming and productivity.

I was informed SLI isn't supported by most of the new and upcoming games, so should I try and sell them on like gumtree (Like Craigslist but less sketchy) and then buy a 1080ti? 

 

Also would the computer be able to fit and handle a:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AORUS 11GB

  1. keep as backup
  2. sell it
  3. keep it in and SLI

Yeah I could do that but I'm just curious if the computer could fit and handle a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AORUS 11GB because that is better than a  MSI Gaming X GTX1070

i am pretty sure the mobo can handke it.. not sure if the case will work (idk, someone might be able to tell you) but i googled it and it is on the compatible card list.. and why spend $1.2k wouldnt an rtx 2080ti be cheaper?
