No, not unless you get a dual-slot single-card SLI solution like GTX 690.

I doubt that...You have a mini-itx board which only have 1 16x PCI-e Lane so unless you want a dual GPU dual slot single card that produces a ton of heat in a tiny enclosure and possibly start a fire because of that 330 watt PSU, then by all means.

In all honesty.  No. 

 

Even if you upgrade it its probably some tiny thing that hard to get a hold of unless you find some exclusive SilverStone one.  In terms of SLI, I don't think so sorry.  Even a 330w for a K processor, z87 motherboard and a graphics card seems like quite a small ammount of power for a gaming rig. 

 

 

 

Can i upgrade to Titan Z if I upgrade my PSU to 600w?

Probably not, that gpu is probably pretty gigantic.  And 600w might be bit low for a Titan Z imo.   A GTX 980, sure, a Titan Black, possibly.

No, its a Dual slot, mini-ITX HTPC. 

A 980 should be fine with a PSU upgrade.
