    650 should be plenty, gtx 1080 only has 1 x 8 pin connector, now weather the main players make it clockable and add the 6 pin back in is to be seen..

    if the SSD is your OS drive id up it to 256, I used a 128 SSD and was forever having to clean it even though i would install apps etc on other drive.

    Thanks to consoles

    Will see how I get on initially with it...I have a 120 gb ssd in my gaming laptop with all the apps I use on it and it fits my needs. May upgrade in future :-)

    same as I started off with a 128g ssd, installed pretty much everything to other hdd but still had to clean the bloddy thing often cos it ran out of space, even now with a 256G ssd I have to be carefull, its gonna be a 512 next

    Thanks to pickie
