Upgrade to 7700k and 1080ti on Acer Predator G1 possible?

Hi guys,

 

I recently got a good deal on an Acer Predator G1 with i7 6700 CPU and 1080 graphics card.  My plans are to upgrade to an i7 7700k and 1080ti.  Some possible hurdles I see in my way is motherboard support for the 7700k and not enough power for the 1080ti.  On the CPU front, I see a BIOS (https://www.acer.com/ac/sv/SE/content/support-product/6820?b=1) for 'only' Kabylake platform, so that should cover the 7700k.  I know I won't be able to overclock the CPU.  For the 1080ti, I read in a review that one of the two 230w laptop ac adapters is dedicated for the graphics card.  According to this chart (https://www.pcper.com/image/view/79392?return=node%2F67284), the 1080ti would exceed the available 230w.  I was thinking of picking up a 330w laptop ac adapter to replace one of the 230w ones, but I'm not sure if the system would know to fully utilitize it.

 

Has anyone done these upgrades?

 

Thanks
