Hi all,



Hi All,

(Shill Incoming) I do a bit of streaming mostly console games and the odd older PC game, but anything newer I can handle (sort of) but with obvious issues every now and then. So I'm looking at adding a second GPU so my current GPU can do all the encoding work whilst the new GPU handles all the gaming.



I currently have a GTX1050 TI and will be adding a GTX 1060 6GB. But I would like recommendations for a new Motherboard and most likely PSU as at the time I didn't have the idea of streaming or even running a dual GPU setup.



CPU: Intel I5-7500

Current GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Low Profile Video Card

Adding Second GPU: GTX 1060 6GB

PSU: CoolerMaster MasterWatt 400W 80Plus White

Case: CoolerMaster HAF912



P.S I live in England so everything in sterling £ would be appreciated.

Thanks All,



Regards, Midgitwarrior

For the PSU, check out this list:

Nvidia says the GTX 1060 needs a 400W PSU alone. You might want another 120-150W of rating for the 1050. So something about 550W.

Quick search on amazon.uk.co shows an OK an 600W EVGA W1 for 46 GBP or a great Seasonic Focus Plus Gold for 82 GBP. (Taking into account VAT and USD to GBP conversion, those sound like fair prices.)
