Getting a GTX 1080 For my birthday!!

Ok, i'll check later, or when i get some freetime.

Purchased from eBay, and i always use PayPal, so nothing bad there.

 

I'm a very impatient person...

 

AWESOME

 

Got nervous that a gtx 1080 could not fit inside my computer, but after reading some articles, the good news hit in.

my PSU Is good, and the slot size inside my computer is good, those where the two things i was scared about, but lucky me, they both will work

 

From what I can find and assuming you have a XPS 8700, your power supply only has two 6 pin PCIe power connectors. I believe the GTX 1080Ti requires a 8 pin and a 6 pin. I also think it's only rated for 460 watt, might want to just pull the side panel off and check. Better safe than sorry.

 

I have a 8 pin and a 6 pin (bought and replaced old ones) and i have 500 watts on my PC ATM, I will probably start taking it apart (not the entire thing, just the side panel) and see/check.

I agree, better safe than sorry.

 

I don't think 500w is sufficient for a 1080Ti. Nvidia recommends at least a 600w.

 

What is your form factor of your case, and how many fans does the 1080 you ordered have?

 

Huh, while doing some research, some people said 500W Is needed and some said 600W Is needed. Didn't know who to believe.

 

I'd go with what the manufacturer says, don't want to risk overloading your supply and have it explode taking out your brand new 1080Ti with it.

 

my PC ATM Has 3 fans at the back, one on the CPU, and including the ones on the GPU.

 

Do you know the model of your PC? Look on the side of it.

 

So before i install the GTX 1080, It would be recommended to get a new thing with 600 watts in it?

I don't know, it's just a black dell PC.

 

Ahh okay.. I'm assuming it's an Optiplex. Do you know what your CPU?

 

Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.6 GHz

 

get a decent 600w psu and you should be fine
heres a psu tier list so you wont blow yourself up

Will consider, but how much is an average one? I'm broke ATM, So ehh..

 

you can get a good one for around 80usd, you can go lower but just dont go too low

 

It will be awhile until I get one... lucky you! I need a whole new PC!

Not all Dell's use Intel. Some have AMD.

 

Hmm. It will be a very slight bottleneck, it isn't too bad. I recommend getting an i7.
