Hi All,
I thought I knew a fair bit about putting a PC together, but after half and hour reading all the insight in these forums are realized how far that is from the case. Anyway, I have been slowly upgrading my machine for a little while near, and am at the point where I realize I need some suggestions as to where to go.
I use my machine for gaming primarily, app development, and not uncommon to run several VM's.
This is what I have currently:
Asus Sabertooth X79 Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC 11G Card (recent buy)
i7 3930K
G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10Q-32GAO 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3
Corsair HX-750 V2 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply
Asus PG279Q (recent buy)
Corsair Carbide 500R Case
I have no idea how I should understand power requirements. Like I am wondering whether my PSU which is old is still ok with the new 1080 graphics card? The system has been running fine for 3 or so weeks now.
I also realise maybe I have bottlenecks now because of the upgrade to 1080ti? Not exactly sure how to work that out/test.
With what I have currently, I guess if I want to upgrade from here it means new cpu/motherboard/memory. Which would be a good way to go to have something that will last for the next 3-5 years?
I appreciate any and all help I can get, and in the mean time will keep studying the threads in this forum. Very helpful everyone here it seems.
Thanks
