can i upgrade to a i7 quad core processor a 780ti evga graphics card in this tower and usb 3.0??

It has a i7 quad core in it already just an older version. As far as the 780ti graphics card, you will have to upgrade your power supply to at least a 600w which isn't hard to do. For usb 3.0, you will have to buy an expansion card.

I have a Radeon 6770 in it currently, and there's room to spare, so I'm sure the 780 will fit. :)

Im not 100% sure but i would recommend getting the i7-4770k quad core for gaming. You would be very happy.

I don't understand the question. If you are talking about an i7 processor, yes. But you should consider other loads on the power supply such as GPU, ram, audio cards, etc...do some math and you will understand your needs...

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.

As others have said, that processor will run the with this card just fine, but it may be a bit of a bottle neck. The more important question is however, what motherboard do you have? Does it have the required PCI-Express 2.0 x16 expansion slot to accept this card?

I got the computer about a year ago and I put in a Nvidia 750 and a new 480 watt PSU and it all went fine. The computer is quite upgradable and has a lot of open space inside. It has extra ports for additional ram and another hard drive. The only downside is sort of silly, the power supply that's in it must be somewhat unique as the new one I got and other I've looked at don't have a port for the LED near the bottom of the face, which indicates which power setting you're on. Long story short, you should have no problem upgrading this machine.

its a full sized tower, u might need upgrade the power supply, but all that and even watercooling would fit, its a roomie case, just need to upgrade powersupply if your tossin in a decent graphics card

I would recommend you upgrade to a 300W power supply if you're going to upgrade the video card.

Hi there, Looks like you'll be upgrading. First a power supply then a GPU then faster Memory, on & on etc I bet. lol I think I would upgrade the PWR up to 1000w.This will give yourself a lot of safe upgrading capabilities. I run 1100w SLI PWR. This way I can upgrade and not worry about power. The cost isn't all that much difference.

Yes it can. on YouTube there is a channel called tech of tomorrow and They always do 4k benchmarks on msi gtx 780 ti. This card can do 4k ultra but the game demanding games like battlefield 4 and far cry 3 are gonna run around 30 fps. If you are ok with that then yes&#128522; it can&#128522;

yes, you must install a 1500w psu for both graphics card, then youll have a quadfire installation, so it requires more power, greetings and hace a nice day

I've been using it for over a year, and I currently have a Intel i7 and a GTX-650 in the board. So, not super high-end yet, but looking at the power requirements for higher end cards (at least a Quadro K5000 sli'd with a Tesla K20), it'll be plenty. Oh yeah, I also have 4 hard drives in there, and a couple of peripherials that's starting to err on excessive.

AMD supporter as well. You can upgrade, but make sure the PSU that you choose will fit inside your tower/case unless you want to upgrade that too. Also, make sure the PSU will have enough juice to run the graphics card and all your other components (or you could ruin your new PSU and your mobo).

Without doubt. The PSU has all current ATX connections and will also be able to support 2 video cards with your AMD quad core

Absolutely sir. I bought this for my brothers gaming rig. His gpu is a gtx 770 and we have had no problems. For gaming, an i5 is more than enough. The gpu is more important in this case. Even if you went all out with dual 780ti's that CPU would be fine. Overclocks very well also
