Help pls

So I'm getting this build and I was wondering if my power supply would be enough if I decide to overclock my cpu to 4.6 GHz and my graphics card to 2000+ MHz? And if is able to overclock my CPU and my gpu, will it be enough wattage for me to upgrade to an i7 6700k and go for SLI? Both overclocked.

Yes, the power supply is fine.

 

As for SLI, there's only one way to find out if it'll work and that's by trying it.

That powersupply is cutting it a bit close for sli imo, but you shouldn't have any issues I don't believe.

 

Honestly though... I'd drop that h100i, get an evo (for now) so you can step up to a gtx 1080. Then, if you decide that you're not happy with the performance of the evo, and once you've saved up a few bucks, you can swing out and upgrade it with a better cooler like a good air cooler from noctua or be quiet.

Usually for SLI you would want a 750 watt but for the 1000 series low power draw you might be able to get away with the 650. Also an overclock to 4.6 might be a litte too far out there IMO. Let me know how it goes for you though

Not a bad idea, but would I be able to overclock my cpu to 4.6 ghz with the evo?? and in my chasis it only comes with two pre-installed exhause fans so the cooler acts as two intake fans.

Should be fine with SLI, might be cutting it close if you overclock though

4.6 is a bit of a stretch for the 6600k. They're not real great overclockers from what I've seen.

You could overclock it a bit on a 212evo, but probably not 4.6 unless you got a really good overclocker.

You'll get a lot more performance from a stock 6600k + gtx 1080, than from an overclocked 6600k and 1070.

But, a gtx 1080 is about $800 in canada and I'm buying the 1070 $630 so If i got rid of the water cooler than I'd only have a $100 extra... Not enough for a good quality 1080.

And I wouldnt be surprised if there was bottlenecking

True, might be something to consider though. Imo would be more than worth it if you could hold off for another week or so to save up that extra 50-70$ needed. Though, if you don't have a job and saving would be hard then that too is completely understandable if you couldn't.
