Hi,
I have an Alienware X51 R2 and I want to change mi GTX780 to a new one, probably the GTX1070. The box is really small so I bought a new box (Sharkoon VG5-W USB 3.0) and a new PSU (Tacens Mars Gaming Vulcano 750W 80 Plus Silver) months ago while I was waiting for the new GPUs to be announced.
Specs of my Alienware:
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- GPU: GTX780 (1,5GB)
- PSU: Don't really know, sorry. But I think that is not very good and I think that it's making my GPU work bad.
With that said, is there something I should know before moving the components? I think it's possible because I saw other posts here and I found a good tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJBwdBZzySs&list=FL6uvRlAjPmq2CDH9-u7xfHA&index=1) but not sure if it will work in my case. Is there any component that I won't be able to move? And when buying the GTX1070 you think I would need to change other components?
I appreciate your help and sorry about my knowledge of english and computers >.<
