I am upgrading my current build ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J6Pwf8 ) so I can add 3 more 27" 1440p monitors.
My lastest design has the additions at a 1060 video card, and obviously the monitors ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cDL83F )
According to pcpartpicker the PSU is able to handle adding this card.
My concerns are:
1. The pcpartpicker wattage computation isn't accurate and I'll need to upgrade the PSU. I have no idea how to figure this out except wattage calculations and available plugs, which seem to be there.
2. my mobo will drop the PCIe slots from 16/0/0 to 8/8/0 if I add another card. Will this effect gaming? I need to understand if I need to upgrade the mobo.
I currently game on my 970. The additional card is simply for "screen space" as I am an active stock trader and need screen real estate during the day. I only game on a single 1440p monitor.
Any advice/tips/suggestions are greatly welcomed. I've spent a lot of time on this and want to make sure I get it right!
Thanks as always to the Tom's community.
