get rid of that rubbish PSU... for a tenth of the cost of your gpu you will get something better.

Yes, defiantly get rid of that PSU BEFORE you even think about a GTX 1080Ti.


You need a high quality PSU to make sure you don't fry the GPU.

You can get a better quality unit for the same price or less.

The VS won't even run that system without rebooting, according to JonnyGURU (a worker at Corsair).

Not because of wattage - even a 550W power supply is fine for your system. Just make sure it's good quality.
