Going to upgrade my wife and my pc.
Wondering if these parts will work together and how my performance will be. My plan is to make both computers 2d nvidia surround on 3 monitors at 5760x1080 with a 4th monitor for music teamspeak exc... We play planetside2, starcraft 2, and WoW.

I currantly have
Mobo asus z77
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/
Cpu I7 3770k stock
Graphics gigabyte gtx 770 windforce OC 4gb
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...
16gb ram
Corsair 750 power supply

I want to overclock my cpu to 4.2-4.4ghz with 1.15-1.2volts with a noctua nh-d14 cooler. Add another gtx 770 in sli. Should i get a 1200 watt power supply? The graphics card says its 450watt. I will be taking my PC to a dealer for the Overclocking and adding parts since it is part of my warranty.

And my wife she has a
Mobo msi 970a-g43
600 or 650 power supply
Cpu amd fx4300
Graphics Galaxy gtx 660 2gb

I want to add a msi 970a-g46 since the g43 doesnt support sli. And a evga 660 2gb in sli. I cant find the galaxy brand so will the galaxy and evga sli properly? I know the evga will down clock to the galaxy. And should i upgrade her power supply to a 850watt? And I dont mess with parts much will these changes be that difficult to do?


Thanks for the help.

Mobo msi 970a-g43 < You can't overclock with the G43 , G45 , G46 they all have poor thermal designs.

You don't need 1200w power supply to overclock on a single card setup.

The CX750w should be changed as they have poor capacitors.

For your wife's PC, get a 750w PSU, and for your pc, a 1000w gold rated PSU should be OK. 1200w is too much since that 450w rating is including other 'average' parts such as hard drive, motherboard, ram etc.

Thanks I will upgrade mine and put my power supply in hers. Now it says its 450watt and requires a 600 watt minimum for 1. Thats why i thought minimum would be 1200. And will that evga and galaxy 660 sli propperly?
