  I really don't think so. a 4130 can run a 1060 nowadays. And you have top-of-the-line hardware, like the 4930k, and the 2 1070s. But wait for others' replies tho.

and would a 750W PSU be enough for an overclocked 4930k along with 2x overclocked 1070s?

How much can you spend on it. Yes a bit bad. Don't want 2 1070 to be ruined by a low quality PSU

Something that can hold 2 overclocked 1070s. And with the overclock, I mean simply power target/memory/core clocks, not giving them any extra voltage

Thanks for sharing, but I still don't know what differs the different tiers. I can see mine is on 5, and the ones you recommended is on 1, but why exactly? Is there any spesific reason other than tier 1 is newer?

Tier 1 has higher quality. No they may not be newer

Higher quality as in? Very curious to know exact differences, since my PSU is working perfect for my OCd 1070 and 4930k right now

It doesn't usually cause problems gradually - it's rather sudden. Nonetheless for two 1070s I would get something at least tier 2 in my signature.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
