Thanks to premiere of gtx 1080 Ti im planning to upgrade my PC to second (and some time later third) card.
Current setting:
i5-4690k
MB - z97 - Mini itx (one pcie 3.0 x16)
16gb ram
GTX 1080 FE
PSU – 650W gold
As you can see this is not, in any case, good machine for HC but – 1080FE is 1080FE J.
Since it is 1150 socket I can't see a point to upgrade to z270. Upgrade to X99 would best choice but it is far more expensive.
Here is what I come up with:
i5-4690k
MB – ASrock Z97 extreme 4 (3 slots pcie) (x8/x4/x4) http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Ext...dex.pl.asp
16GB ram
GTX 1080 FE and GTX 1080 Ti FE
PSU – Seasonic PRIME Platinum 1200W (SSR-1200PD)
Here comes questions:
1. PSU - will it be enough for 3 cards 1x GTX 1080 + 2x 1080 TI (TDP apx 1000W)? Any other/better options?
2. What do you thing about MB? This ASrock is the best one I find.
Thank you in advance for any response.
