Hey Toms,
I got an Alienware Aurora R4 for helping a friend in his PC shop. I'd like to upgrade the GPU, CPU and Ram. I already ordered the Ram and the GPU. 2 questions... What's the best CPU I can put in this thing? I was hoping a 4970k would work? And... I ordered (today) The EVGA GTX 1070 FTW hybrid edition GPU. This Particular R4 had the Dual GTX 780 Sli Setup. So, The 1070 I ordered needs 2x 8 pin connectors. (Each) 780, used a 6 Pin and 8 Pin connector. Can I use the 8 Pin connectors from (each) rail on the PSU to complete the GPU install or will that blow up the GPU (being sarcastic here) Will it not work or possibly fry my GPU? Thanks Guys!!
P.S. The ram I ordered is, CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
