Is this going to fit?
I'm wanting some advice about upgrading my pc so I can do VR on it (hope I'm in the right forum).
My plan is to add a GTX 1080 and a Noctua NH-D15.
My existing system looks a little like this ('MyDingo' saved parts list): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dingo8Me/saved/#view=Y2nFf7
Some initial questions: once I add a ~ 1 kg cooler, will I still be able to periodically move the desktop around in my house, or is that liable to break it? Is adding that cooler enough - I currenly only have the stock cpu cooler and coolers that came with the case (about 3 with the Case).
This setup would run oculus rift well? I'm particularly interested in any advice on whether the sm951 and GTX 1080 will play nicely together - are they competing for access to pcie 3.0 express lanes at the cpu end, or am I confused on the cpu architecture here?
This pc was my first build - should I expect much of a challenge removing the existing stock cpu cooler and installing the Noctura nh-d15?
Also - I'm running windows 10, will it be happy if I just pop in a new graphics card or give me some kind of grief?
Any other advice?
Thanks very much for any help.
