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?

Solution
your best option would be to sell your gtx 980Ti and buy brand new gtx 1080 .
corsair CX 750 is not really suited to power two power hungry video cards .
so you would have to replace it as well (more money invested) .

980Ti SLI is just not worth it anymore because now you can either SLI 1070s or get the 1080 .
both solutions are much more power efficient compared to 980Ti SLI .
