I want to buy another MSI GTX 760 4GB OC to have two in an SLI configuration. My current setup is this:
Cpu: Intel i7 6700K
Mobo: MSI Z170 M9 ACK
Ssd: 2x Samsung 850evo 500GB
Psu: Corsair RM 650
RAM: Kingston Hyperx DDR4 2666MHZ 15cl
Gpu: MSI GTX 760 4GB OC
Case: Corsair 780T Black
Will my current system support a second graphics card? Will I have to upgrade anything before it will work?

While your answer is correct and valuable to the questioner, this kind of reccomendations are off-topic on this site. – KarmaEDV – 2015-10-02T08:38:35.047
1No worries @KarmaEDV, thanks for the downvote for my valuable answer. That'll learn me for trying to help. – Ash – 2015-10-02T08:41:43.550
@Ash I know right? I had to learn it myself. It pissed me off at first, but then I got assimilated by the self-policing spirit of this community. – KarmaEDV – 2015-10-02T08:45:23.433
@KarmaEDV tell me where I needed to post it then. – Koen Van Looveren – 2015-10-02T08:48:01.773
@KoenVanLooveren Don't know, maybe TomsHardware Forums? – KarmaEDV – 2015-10-02T08:49:01.407
@Ash With enough room/ cooling do you mean watercooling? Because that is my plan for the future (custom, EK) – Koen Van Looveren – 2015-10-02T08:49:17.033
@KarmaEDV isn't thare a hardware forum on stack exchange – Koen Van Looveren – 2015-10-02T08:49:58.937
@KoenVanLooveren Got you: http://hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/
– KarmaEDV – 2015-10-02T08:51:13.387Oke I didn't know that I'm sorry – Koen Van Looveren – 2015-10-02T08:55:43.380
@KarmaEDV: I'm not sure I see the problem -- http://superuser.com/help/on-topic:
– Ash – 2015-10-02T11:52:28.310Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about … computer hardware,
It is not a recommendation, it is an answerable question, it may be useful to other people with similar setups. But the mods will do their thing I guess if they see fit...edit: it's also not a recommendation request, so is potentially OT for hardwarerecs anyway, which only has a stubbed "on topic" section at this point in time.@Ash Sure, and I don't want to seem petty by answering your last comment. But I interpret the same page you posted differenetly: "and it is not about … asking for a product [...] recommendation" – KarmaEDV – 2015-10-02T11:56:08.570
1@KarmaEDV This question is off-topic on Hardware Recs, but on-topic here. OP isn't asking what graphics card to buy, he is asking if it would work in his current setup. I do agree that it does need work however. – Cfinley – 2015-10-02T16:13:21.337
2@Cfinley: I just find it amusing that some users are using downvotes to punish answers they <i>say themselves are valuable</i> because they believe the question is off-topic, rather than just voting to close the question... – Ash – 2015-10-02T23:51:20.110
@Ash I agree. Don't let the downvote get to you. People will find any reason to downvote you. – Cfinley – 2015-10-03T02:36:28.567
Alright, my bad. Retracted the downvote. Mea Culpa. – KarmaEDV – 2015-10-05T07:07:55.627
@Cfinley I know, right... Don't worry ash, some people think that they know best. That was an excellent answer, thank you. Joined this community just to upvote and comment. :) – Rubyjunk – 2015-10-31T12:30:55.563
