Question Alienware Power Supply

Hello,

I own an Alienware Aurora R4 with a 875 watts PSU, I'm planning to upgrade my GPU. Is the power supply unit of the Aurora R4, SLI ready? Thanks.

    Yes, it is. But it's still only 875w   

    You can try to match the existing nVidia card for dual-SLI. However, you might consider putting that money toward a new cutting-edge Single Card Solution from vendor like eVGA (ie 780) .

    Thanks for the reply. I already upgraded my gpu, I bought an evga gtx 770 superclock w/ acx cooling and I'm planning to get a second one to sli. I guess I'll be needing a new PSU with more watts.

    that's really up to you

    people are buying the stock aurora r4 with gtx 780 SLI or the Titan Z using the original PSU and  seem OK with no need to upgrade
