Yeah, I'm happy with how things are coming together. I know I could have easily gone with a 650 G3 for only one 1070 FTW2 and one i7, but I did read an article about how peak efficiency only occurs around 40% to 60% of load on a PSU. So I thought the 850 G3 would be the sweet spot for one overclocked 1070 and one overclocked i7. Another thing I took into consideration is that it's possible I might pick up another 1070 FTW2 and try my hand at SLI. I've never been a fan of SLI, but if I could pick up another card at a great price, I think I'd like to give it a go. I think the 850 G3 should be able to handle two 1070 FTW2's.
