Please feel free to tell me anything i can improve on my pc as it is right now if you see anything wrong

My Question is this

And add all my upgrades on that Motherboard build i Have listed above

Or is it better to buy New Ones of the things i have arrows next to them???

Please help me out guys am on a big dilemma here

(AM A VERY HIGH DEMANDING GAMER AND I PLAY CRYSIS 3 AND STUFF THAT HAVE GRAPHICS LIKE THAT AND I WANT TO FULLY EXPERIENCE THEM TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL)

Thank you in advance for everyone who Commented and helped me

NOTE: I never overclocked anything on my pc or done any crazy gaming
I JUST LOVE GRAPHICS 😀

try to figure you total full load max amps and see where you may stamd ?

[stock and no overhead for overclocking]
cpu is 85w 1 1080 for now is a 8 pin at 150w and slot power at 75 w so it capable of drawing 225w x 2 450w + that 85w cpu = 535w = 45amps at the 12v+ that's a min [and may fail at that] of a 550w psu if it true 45.8 amps at it 12v+ so a 600w is needed just for that

now figure the rest of your system and get a ball park of your needs and maybe 10 amps of buffer overhead

a 750w should show to be 62 [62.5] amps at its 12v+

shows from here [if this is your unit 62.5 ]

watts divided by volts[12] = amps

First the GTX 1080 has a TDP of 180 watts (the non reference models will add a bit more) X2 360 watts 90 CPU about 100 max for everything else. That's 550 Watts or 770 Watts to run the power supply in the 70% area when stressed. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080
2nd your power supply it total garbage. if you have the good one then tier 3.
3rd 32GB of memory is 100% wasting money for a gaming PC 8 will work 16 will guarantee you will never need to add more.
4Th I can see no reason at all to buy 2X 1TB 850 Pro's for games A single 1TB EVO should hold everything that matters.
5th for SLI 1080's that would depend on your monitor resolution for a single 1080p monitor resolution a single GTX1080 will run every game out now and the near future the best it will run!!!!!!!!!!!! I run a 2K monitor and my GTX 980 runs everything just fine with the GTX 1070 supposed to match the performance of the GTX 980ti I would think a single GTX1080 would max out everything on a 2K monitor.
To answer your question.
Depending on your monitor resolution a single GTX 1080 (2K resolution or less) if your running a 4K monitor then SLI them at the least. Add another set of the same memory you have (post back if they don't play nice together) or play it on the safe side and buy a 2X8GB set for 16GB and not use what you already have. Overclock the processor to the 4.4 area (very easy to do) Single 1TB 850 EVO or crucial BX 100/200 SSD. And 100% for sure a new power supply this one will allow you to run SLI GTX 1080 IF YOU NEED TO.

Fatality PSU, not the greatest quality is lacking.

 

[junkeymonkey]

I did not not like in guru's review about run it a few years and ditch it

''The Bad:
•Su'scon capacitors - I'd retire this unit the second the five year warranty expires ''

kinda make me wonder if its safe to run it at all with that statement ??

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

With your upgrade plans , also include a good reliable PSU , to run the new setup.

them evga g2 units go on sale often seemed like the 750w g2 was 99 bucks a few days ago [after rebate]

p2 platinum 109$

g2 gold 95$
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20750xr

about as solid as it gets

heck 109$ for a g2 850w

dang channelwell must of done something right to grant a 10 year warrantee

that is a nice looking unit inside the box...

here they say 7 year ?? maybe UK?? newegg U.S.A shows 10

http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/psu/86723-corsair-rm850x/

7 year as well

I have the 850w RMX , love it , very solid,

Amazon had it for $99.00 for Prime members , couldn't pass it up.

 

[junkeymonkey]

looking at the inside I'd try it , why not looks good ?


one thing to bring up on this is

''Will my i7-3770k with my 750Watt PS support sli GTX 1080 And beyond? then says '' 3. GTX TITAN X OF THE PASCAL VERSION ''


he needs to knida know the beyond part of things that may add to overall amps ?? then he has 1080 titan cards for sli they may need way more the a 1080 show to now like may have a 8=6 pin or 2 8 pin ??

so you may find a 850 down the road may still cut things close [though I don't see it as like having 2 390s in x fire] ? they are talking the higher end cards over the plain 1080 will have the extra power leads to feed them ??

that's the thing about guessing on things that aint out there to know for sure

tough call

looking at this chart for what its worth titan is a 250w card where the plain 1080 is just a 180

8+6 pin and slot = it could draw up to 300w that's 25amps pre card now ?? 50 amps is a 600w psu just the cards by them selves [stock no ocing] a true 850w is 70 [70.8] amps

them little part changes can add up fast

Hey,

1) MONITOR - The monitor is the most important part of a gaming rig IMO. I suggest waiting a bit perhaps for prices to drop, then get a monitor with specs similar to THIS (if in the market for a new monitor... GSYNC is really awesome):

- GSYNC
- 2560x1440 @144Hz+ (or 3440x1440 @100Hz+)
- IPS
- 4ms or less
- HDR (if available when you buy)

2) GTX1080Ti or similar?
Depends how long you want to wait, however note that if you have a GSYNC monitor it's not imperative to hit a specific frame rate (aside from a couple titles like Fallout 4 than need 60FPS to run correctly). A single GTX1080 OC'd card (i.e. 2.5GHz Liquid cooled card) is pretty darn awesome when paired with a GSYNC monitor.

A GTX1080 for normal gaming is about 3X faster than a GTX680. A stable 2.5GHz after-market solution is around 4X as fast as a GTX680 for normal gaming.

I'd definitely take any cost difference in a second GTX1080 or GTX1080Ti and put that towards a GSYNC monitor instead and pair with a single GTX1080.

3) 32GB?
Why that much? Do you edit video? There's barely any reason to have more than 8GB presently though I still recommend it. More than 16GB for strictly gaming is pointless.

4) Better CPU?
Not worth it. Small benefit to some games, and DX12 will start to support multi-threading better thus start to use all eight threads more efficiently. Plus, a better CPU needs an entirely new motherboard, copy of Windows etc.

5) RAID0 SSD?
Waste of money IMO. Stay with an SSD for Windows (and some games like Skyrim). RAID0 is problematic and the performance difference almost impossible to notice.

You can create one STEAM folder per drive so perhaps:
a) Vertex SSD (current Windows)
b) 256GB Samsung 850 EVO (for games that really benefit)
c) HDD (other games, downloads etc)

6) Windows 10 Pro?
You should have a copy of Windows 10 now that works with your setup. I see no point in buying another license.

7) PSU:
Keep the one you have. It's working fine right? I'm recommending a single GPU solution (plus GSYNC monitor) and that's not going to be much different than what you already have now with the GTX680.

If you buy a new "more reliable" PSU you are trading one that you know already works for one that should statistically work longer, but may in fact die when you plug it in.
