Hey guys,

 

So I'm stuck here with a old Alienware Aurora R3..
Disgusting case imo and want to fully upgrade it.

I already have a new Graphic's Card - GTX1070.
But now thinking of other parts to upgrade.
 

The PC will be mainly be used for gaming/graphical work (photoshop)
Thinking about overclocking it aswell + making a custom waterloop maybe in the future.
What do you guys think about this? Any suggestions or what I could change?

Thank you very much.
I might have forgotten to say that I might be adding a second GTX1070 aswell in the system (In the future ofcourse)

 

What kind of wattage would you recommend then?

 

With in mind I'll probably overclock the system
I might add another GTX1070

You can stick with your current PSU choice if you plan on doing SLI, but I would just buy a GTX 1080 now instead of doing SLI 1070's.

Just keep the HX850i if you like it, given your future plans. You don't want to max out a lower wattage PSU either. PSUs are generally most efficient around 50% load. Look at any efficiency curve on the PSU review websites out there.

Never done 2 GPU's in a system. So don't know alot about it.
But don't you need 2 of the same GPU's to be able to do SLI?
