Forgot to mention that I am unsure as of which CPU cooler I should get, I’m leaning towards the new Corsair Hydro H150i Pro, but if you guys have any suggestions let me know.

I am planning on upgrading my current computer, but I am stuck on what PSU I should get.

Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K Prosessor
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 32GB
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming x2, running SLI
For storage I got a 2TB Seagate Barracuda drive and a Kingston 240 SSDNow.

I do have MY OLD PSU, which is a Corsair TX750M 80+ Gold, but I am unsure if it’s going to be able to power the system.

The TXm series was release about a year ago. It's a tier 1 PSU.

The GTX 1080 has a ~180w TDP, so 2 of them can easily be handled by the 750W unit; even if you overclock.

Thanks, I was thinking of maybe overclocking my cpu, but I’m not too familiar with it. Updated the post because I forgot to mention that I am unsure as of which CPU cooler I should get.

Lol my first ever pc (pre-built) had that power supply.
Thanks for all the advice, Ram, PSU. Got myself a long list of parts, gotta find myself a nice case to go with it as well. Thinking about buyin a Be Quiet one.

I was thinking the same, but then couldn't find it. Seeing now the difference was Bronze back then vs Gold now. Much better for the Gold series.
