Cyperpower GUA3400a Upgrade To 1 or 2 GTX1080s?

fordtough17stix · May 25, 2018

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I'm not super tech-savvy but would love an upgrade to my current pc. Is it possible to put one or two GTX 1080s in my pc? It's a Cyberpower GUA3400a, here are the specs:

Processor
AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor

Video Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Dedicated Memory
4.0 GB

Total Memory
8.0 GB

RAM
8.0 GB

I really don't know if this is all the info you need, but its a stock GUA3400a before I put a GTX 1050ti in it. Thank you for any help!

You won't get much of a benefit from upgrading to a single 1080, let alone two of them, without a platform upgrade, which means a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

If you're stock, you'll almost certainly need to upgrade your power supply as well, given that the stock GUA3400a comes with a garbage-tier 350W power supply.

Well, that depends on your budget and what you're willing to do.

I pretty much want a rig that can play the new additions to the Battlefield series. I have a pretty good budget.

Here's the basic $1500 1440p/144 build that I'd go with at the moment. It'll work for a generation and easy to upgrade.
