Seems like you chose the FTW which has the highest powerdraw of the ones EVGA makes which can lead up to 215watts.Adding a second will get you pretty close to the 650watts of the psu,but should probably be doable if you stay away from overclocking.

But looking at that you want to upgrade the motherboard for it why not just sell the current gpu when wanting to upgrade and get a single better one? Would make more sense to me.

Actually , your point is Valid 100% , most of the guys said the same , they are saying just sell the current GPU and buy a single stick GTX1080ti which make sense to be away from the issues of SLI
Currently I'm thinking to do this since the SLI got an issue with some gaming and application support.

But in case i wanted to connect a 4k gaming and i wanted to play 4k gaming , from the top mentioned specification and consider i have the GTX1080ti , what else i should upgrade on the PC to keep solid frames.?

You don't need anything else for 4k, just a top end gpu like the 1080Ti. 4k gaming is less CPU intensive than 1080p 144Hz/fps, you don't really need an i7 for 4k 60Hz.

seems awsome bro

this is correct !

It's GPU intensive rather than CPU.

I wish i will get that GTX1080Ti ASAP then + 4K Monitor

i have to raise up my budget more than expected, thanks for the information
