i have a 550 evga gold plus running a stock fx 8350, 16gb of g.skill ram on a gigabyte 78lmt usb3 board. Im currently saving money to build an 8700k system with a 1080ti, so the first part im going to buy will be the 1080ti just to get the most expensive thing out of the way. i originally was going to save that to buy for last because i could get more of the other parts first rather than just one, but then i thought about just getting the 1080 ti and slapping it into my current build to boost the performance while i wait to get the rest. obviously i am well aware of big bottlenecking issues with such an insane gpu being paired with such an old cpu, but im not worried about that, my current gpu is just a 750ti so i know ill still get a good performance increase regardless of the bottleneck, but im just wanting to make sure my 550 watt psu will be enough for my current system with a 1080ti in it. oh and the specific one ill be getting with be the gaming X version from MSI.
