I've got 3 questions regarding the build I've made:
1) Your thoughts about it? Any recommendations, modifications?
2) I'm not sure about the motherboard: should I go with Asus - ROG MAXIMUS X FORMULA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard or ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING LGA1151
I do like the look of the Strix much more, but not sure if I will get more power with the Formula one, is it worth it? I am not looking for high overclocking rates, just a stable easy to use motherboard with good overclocking capabilities. Is the Strix good enough?
3) If I want to add another GPU for SLI setup, will my 1000w + 80 power supply gonna be enough for that?
Thanks in advance!
