Hey guys! I'm currently a newbie a upgrading a PC so bear with me. I got this XPS 8910 in a rush because my laptop died on me and I needed a desktop ASAP.
It currently has GTX 750 Ti and it isn't enough to run some games such as Star citizen on even mid on RB6. I plan on putting in a GTX 1080 Ti soon and my PSU can only put out I believe 460v unless I'm wrong haha in which case it also means I need to upgrade my PSU regardless to a 750w which would be a safe and a good level correct?
Should I also upgrade my motherboard?
Should I also upgrade to a different case? I'm concerned about the possible heat generated inside by the 1080Ti as I have no experience in this type of video card. If that's the case, is it better to get a new case and grab fans with better RPMs, which means an overhaul right? Or should I just upgrade my fans?
Add'l info: My desktop is sitting on top of my table next to my screen
There are pics of what the inside of the desktop looks like on the amazon link.
TL;DR
Upgrading to 1080 Ti, is a 750v PSU enough?
Upgrade motherboard or not?
Should I just upgrade my current fans in getting this new video card? Or replace and overhaul into a new case + better fans?
PC laying on top of a table, not on floor/carpet.

Will definitely lookout for those pins. And yeah I will def get an SSD a least 256GB. I have have a 1920x1080 Display and want to play on a 144hz to maximize my immersion in sim games and future AAA games, I wouldn't want to come short haha. Guess I'll need to grabe a case and change everything on it. Should I grab a medium or large tower case? Not sure how big a 1080Ti is and for what case size it should be on.
