Hello.

First question: How much Watts should my PSU have for a MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X which i'm not planning to Overclock? 

 

Second question: Will the GPU Overheat and what's the average temperature it should be at?

 

I'm not a technical genious so try to keep things simple.

 

Thanks!

    GTX 1080 consumes 180W, but nvidia recommends to have at least 500W power supply. I checked your PC's specs and it has gtx 760 and it uses 10W less than gtx 1080, so using that GPU won't be a problem.

    I doubt the GTX 1080 will overheat. The average temperature can depend on the fan curve, room temperature and the type of load you put on it.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
