I'm taking into consideration that this PC is a prebuilt..... Anyways i highly doubt you'll be able to SLI these GTX 770's in this PC. Both the Power Supply and Motherboard would be insufficient. Anyways build a new PC but tell me your price range so i can give you a list of parts.

EDIT- I retract this statement and didn't realize how good the system is... Look below for what i said

Is this your motherboard?

If so then yes it's SLI compatible so two GTX 770's 4gb would work fine. However you will need a good quality 850W PSU to run them in SLI.

I would get the EVGA B2 850W as its a high quality unit. Also if your going for the second 770 I would buy a aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock that Phenom as far as it will go stable to ensure the best performance.

Although depending on your total budget for building a new system you may be better off going that route.

As i look into this more and figure out that it's not a prebuilt . Going with another GTX 770 would be a absolute outstanding option. The board support Dual X16 slots which is more than enough bandwidth and your processor is plenty. Heck it's a 6 Core Phenom!!
^^ Like WildCard999" Said Above. Purchase a new power supply. Get Cryorig H7 with Seasonic M12ii and GTX 770! Best of luck!

what about this PS
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-Integrator-Power-Supply-Unit/dp/B0143D474O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1477487680&sr=8-3&keywords=power+supply+850w
is it any good, if i go with the ps you suggested it costs about $120 in here UK.
so to do this upgrade i would end up paying about $200 which is fine if i can make my pc run modern games near 60 fps on 1080 monitor.
I looked for new build yesterday it costs £1032 which is around $1200 specs are:
-CPU i7 6700K
-Motherboard Asus ROG Z170 Maximus VIII ranger.
-GPU MSI GTX 1070
-RAM Corsair vengeance DDR4 2X8GB
-PS Corsair cx750m
-case some cheap but good one

I can buy this build but I prefer the upgrade because i would be saving about £700. but i would love to hear your ideas i might be wrong

thanks all

That new build is really nice and would last quite awhile if your gaming @1080P/60hz, plus that GTX 1070 is much better then SLI 770 4gbs. That Aerocool is a low end unit, would not recommend it.

TBH, its a tough choice.

 

[Mac070]

Yah i agree its a tough choice. I mean if you have that PC for a while and that Phenom along with the GPU is a bit outdated. I mean if you havent upgraded your pc in a while and have had this thing for a while then i would build a new pc. Youll see a huge performance increase. Just build a new pc

 

[gack2009]

yeah i guess i should build new one my pc out dated and there are newer gen of cpus and gpus
also mafia 3 does not work on my pc cus my cpu does not support sse4.1
even thought it would work fine

You could reuse parts out of the old system and save a bit of cash (PSU,HDD,SSD & CPU Cooler) and the rest of the parts sell to help fund the new build.

 

[Mac070]

Eh not all the parts can be reused but yes i agree. You can only really reuse the storage devices and the case maybe along with the cooler.... PSU is kinda pushing it but whats the exact model?

cx600m

If this is the newer Corsair CX600M with the black and grey logo then you could reuse it . However if its the older one with the green logo then i wouldn't risk it. Corsair had to revise this PSU. Wonder why?.....

 

[gack2009]

I will buy the gtx 770 with a 850 w power supply. see if its enough. then if i want to build a new pc i can keep the PS, SSD, and HDD. then sell my old sys as sli system
