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.

Yes, This card has SLI. Which means it can be upgraded to a dual graphics card.

No need to upgrade just for the video card, but I did upgrade the power supply due to attaching a total of 3 harddrives and 2 DVD read/writers and max memory.

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

Yes...this computer can be upgraded.Be careful with video card upgrades,the slot is placed in such a way that in may not be possible to install 2 cards.My computer has three fans,one for the interior,one for the power supply and one for the CPU.If additional fans can be installed,I donot know;but there is an open connector plug.I hope this helps you.

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.

No, you cannot upgrade the processor as far as I know. It is not intended for intensive workload although it is much better than regular desktop PCs even if these have more CPU processing power. The reason being that it is designed as a server. It runs very efficiently 24/7 and is mostly silent. You can add more RAM but it is recommended that you use a server graded module.

it depends on what cpu and motherboard and power supply you have , and what you're trying to replace it with. You have to make sure that your power supply can handle the graphics card you wants to buy instead

Yes. The processor and graphics card work wonderful together. Make sure that your mother supports processors LGA 1150 and also has PCI ports (the majority of motherboards do).

Absolutely. It also depends on how many video cards you will be using. SLI should be OK for 780, not sure about Titan.

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.

I brought Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt and ASUS GTX 660 Ti Series. It runs flawlessly and I even got the 3D vision glasses. If you want to spend less money, then build your own desktop computer. That's something I wished I did instead. Yes, you can upgrade the power and graphic.

Yes, it's compatible with any Core i3/5/7 LGA 1155 processor. The graphics are not on the mobo, they are on the chip, so performance depends on which processor you get (Core i3 has the HD2000 integrated GPU, while the i5/7 have HD3000).

Yes I can utilize the graphics that the new processors have built in. Should be some video outputs on the board. This is sufficient for everything but gaming or more than 2 monitors.

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

Yes, no issue with processor compatibility. Check your motherboard and power supply to ensure they are capable. You need PCI Express and at least 400 Watt power supply.

yes, you can upgrade the graphics card on mostly every computer if it has a good RAM which in this case it does. :)
