I got a good deal 1080ti but I have questions about its compatibility with my build.

[mreloi]

So I managed to get a really good deal on used GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - OC 11GB Graphic Card but I have some questions before I have questions before I go further with doing anything with it.

1. Can this gpu fit into my build?
2. what should I upgrade my power supply to so it can fit in my build with the 1080ti with it?
3. Is there anything else I should upgrade in my build so that there isn't harmful or potentially harmful to my build? if so what do you recommend?

Here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tG4b3F

Would definitely change that psu out for a CX/CXM at least, ideally better

Which psu would you recommend that would fit in my build with the 1080ti?

[Daniel644]

what are your concerns with fitment? like the size of the card relative to the case??

 

also don't cheap out on PSU's get something from the higher Tiers

 

I prefer the A+ tier products.

I do mean the size size of the card to the case while also in terms of functionality.

As PCpartpicker says: "No issues or incompatibilities found. " Just definitely switch that PSU because it's not a good-enough unit for a 1080Ti imo.

functionally I would have to note a 9600k is 5 bucks cheaper then the 7600k on Newegg right now, might have to pay more for the MOBO but you'd be better off thanks to more cores for probably not much more on the MOBO cost.

 

I don't have the time to check sizes right now, I'm sure someone else can, but I would expect it to fit.

 

 

for clarity is this build your existing PC or are you building new from scratch?

if you can spend like 7 more bucks get the samsung 860 evo 500gb larger storage and faster

It says that this is his existing build

to be fair he says "my build", that could be my existing PC or the build i'm fixing to order the parts for but I want you all to check it first because I just scored a 1080ti and so the 1060 in my PC PartPicker List is no longer valid.

I doubt many people would be dumb enough to buy a 7600K in the current hardware environment

could be trying to save 40 bucks over a 8600k not seeing the 9600k is cheaper, you never know thats why I asked for clarity so we have a definitive answer.

The CSM is good enough. It's DC-DC, has working protections and decent enough electrical performance. Not ideal, but it works.

What are you referring to when you mention the CSM?
