Firstly, this community has been amazing in helping with my first build. I want to have one more check over before I finalize it and start ordering.
My last question is if I intend to xfire/sli in the future (whichever this card is lol) should i go with a higher Watt PSU now? Ideally I wouldn't need to get a second GPU for a few years but I'm just trying to think long term with this guy.
Also is there anywhere where I've gone overboard and can cut down a few bucks? Thanks guys.
Build is for gaming and schooling.
