I am about to build a new PC and looking for some feedback or improvements I could make to the build! I will mostly use this build as a workstation and for gaming.

About the only thing you're skimping on is the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX, and even then its a good power supply. The rest of the build is near perfect. A SuperNOVA G2 or P2 would be ideal.

Also even if you wanted to do SLI you would only need a 650W PSU.

The EVGA NEX power supplies are horrible , get the GS or G2 series from EVGA or even better get the Corsair RMX 750W.

The rest is awesome , great choices.

Thank you to both of you. I will read about those power supplies and switch to a better one! As for downgrading to a 650W power supply I rather stick with a 750W for future improvements!

Yeah I was just thinking about my 650W suggestion. That would be ok with SLI 1070, but not ok for SLI 1080.

I would go with the 750w for sure.
