hi
thanks for your quick replies, the cost of future upgrades is not a hurdle.

hi
can you recommend a good graphics card that will fit in with the rest of my build. thanks

hi
without looking inside i believe it does have 6 pin connectors and there are 2 molex connectors free. the price of the graphics card is just a bit more than i paid for the one i had. thanks

1 can you link 2 of my graphics cards and is it worth it
2 i believe i would need a different motherboard to do that
