Hi there,
I was wondering if it's possible to run the MSI GTX 1050 4GB and the MSI GTX 1060 6GB at the same time? Would this be possible and also is this something worth doing?

Also which Cpu and psu would be best for running both of these?

The reason for doing it is, I want to build a gaming pc for myself, however I don't have much to spend at the moment. So I thought I'd save myself a few bucks by getting the 1050 now, and then adding the 1060 later on

No, even 2 GPUs of the same kind have lack luster support for games. If you give me your budget I'll make you a build. Do you need monitor/case/copy of windows/keyboard/mouse/etc?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
My budget for now is anything between R14'000 and R16'000 (I'm from South Africa so I'm not sure in which currency you work)
I'm going to use this pc for gaming mostly, and I do animation on software like Blender as a hobby, so I want my build to have the best possible graphics for that price range
I'm starting an entirely new build, so I need everything except a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I'm set with those. It's also not needed to include Antivirus software, I've got that covered.
Thank you for your time, I really do appreciate it. It's my first build so I'm still new at this

You being in south africa makes it a bit more difficult, as there is no pcpartpicker domain for there (that I'm aware of). Here's the build I made that is roughly 15410 rand being converted from USD, but it might be higher depending on how good the prices are where you live:

Unfortunately prices here are rather high compared to the US I tried a similar build and it added up to R23500 which is 1840 Us dollar more or less. But the Gpu is overclocked which make it a bit more expensive.
Thank you for the build though. I'll try and work around it to see if I can find a bit less powerful build that would fit my budget
