Advice on spec

[V F]

It sure sounds a sweet feature. Shame it's not across all boards. Can't wait to see what technology like this prevails in another 4 years.

One tiny little niggle,

The PSU for some reason only has a pair of PCI-E connectors, so for a second card the OP would need to use ugly molex-PCi-E adapters (a bit lame on such an expensive build)

A tiny winy bit more money spent would get a PSU with a full four PCI-E connectors (2 per card)

I know but wanted to keep to under £1600 but apart from that, I did a spec Stulid likes

Just incase you wanted a themed build and some eye candy

I will spec properly now and give you a nice bang for buck system.
