As you can see looking at my build below, I want to add a second graphics card, a sound card, and some memory to my system. However, I am concerned that I will not have enough slots, space, or power for my build. As configured on PCPartPicker, I am at 744 of 750 total watts on my PSU. Is this alright, or do I need to upgrade it? The builder does not seem to account for power used by peripheral devices.
Additionally, I am curious if I will have enough slots for this. Just looking at the numbers I do but, the GPUs are quite large and cover more than one slot on the board.
Lastly, does my processor have enough lanes to work with both GPUs and the sound card?
