I am buying a Desktop off a guy who has the superclocked version but I do not want to pay the extra $60 CAD for the second 770. BTW Can I SLI and 2 GTX 770's and get away with it ?

Yes it will work, as far as I know the faster card will just slowdown to the same speed as the slower 1.

Yes you can without a problem. When performing an SLI, the manufacturer and model doesn't matter as long as it is the same series (e.g. Asus 770 and Gigabyte 770 will work).

So I can OC the NON superclocked version and make it run at the same speed as the superclocked version ?
Also, the CPU is a fx-8350 @ 4Ghz. It is being cooled by a Hyper 212 EVO but what do you think temps would be at and is there a better choice that i should make and put in a better heatsink. (Must be less than 160mm tall)

Nup - they run at the slowest GPU clocks

How does this look ?
I am planning to run single 1080P moniter while gaming but use both for productivity work
The parts that cost $0.00 are coming with the Desktop.

Fatpat999 :

The OC version would just slow down to the speed of the slower one. Sorry but it is pretty tough to predict the temps of the CPU. Yes maybe at 60°C.

Fatpat999 :

That seems nice, but it would personally go for G.Skill Ripjaws X for RAM and Samsung Evo for SSD. The PSU is a bad choice. Try Antec, EVGA, SeaSonic, Thermaltake or XFX.

Fatpat999 · Aug 25, 2014

Ok, the prices in grey are the stuff that comes with the Desktop.
What PSU would you recommend ? 750 w?

lightcloud · Aug 25, 2014

Here is one from the Tier 1.

How do you check the tier's of the PSU ?

i7Baby :

Actually with Afterburner the OP will be able to OC both cards at the same time.

Thanks

Fatpat999 :

No worries mate.

Fatpat999 :

Why does your 8350 cost $630?

DSzymborski · Aug 25, 2014

i7Baby :

I would guess that the $630 is the price of the PC as is and he's just sticking it there rather than figuring out how to allocate it to the existing parts in the build.

Fatpat999 · Aug 25, 2014

DSzymborski :

Oh, ahha.
I was to lazy to figure how much each part is "worth" so i just stuck it on the CPU as its the first thing on the list
