I am interested in buying a second hand Dell Alienware Aurora R5, advertised with the following specs: Intel 530 - i7 6700T, DDR4 32Gb, GTX 1060 6Gb, 256Gb m.2 SSD, 1Tb HDD, upgraded water-cooler + fans.
I am not using this as a gaming PC, but rather as a work desktop as I use VR software that is very RAM & GPU intensive. I'd like to purchase and try the machine as is, but if I require an upgrade, I'd like to add an extra GPU as there are slots for 2 PCI-E X16 cards (possibly same spec as the one that's in at the moment). Will this CPU handle dual GPUs (will there be bottle-necking) or is it just a waste of money to add an extra GPU without upgrading the CPU. From what I found in various forums, the CPU is upgradable (to 6700 or 6700K), however, with mixed results on performance upgrade. Ps. the software handles dual GPUs
