GTX 1070 SLI FX 8350 OC Power Supply Help!

Solution
SLIing a pair of 1070's with that build is a waste of money, the 8350 can't keep up with them at all. In fact building with an FX processor is a waste of money at this point. Its dead technology about to be replaced for good (finally) at the end of the year

Heres your build in an Intel version, far better and more suited to SLI 1070's

I only need 650w for an sli build with an over clocked cpu at around 4,3?

Yes, a good 650w unit will have no problem as the power draw with a pair of 1070's is not as high as with older cards. That said its about $10 more to get the 750G2, so if you want more of a cushion you could do that.

I made some changes to the build see my post updated above.

Also you mentioned the i5 6500, that will save you a few bucks but you can't overclock it like a 6600k.

OK before I change anything this is the cheapest board that will SLI for you.

Dropping the processor to an i5-6500 or i5-6400 will only drop the cost a little bit.

The next thing I would consider in your case then is to get a cheaper monitor for now and then save up for something like what you want. Instead of compromising on your build, because as mentioned building with an FX-8350 for what you want to do is a waste of money.
