why do you feel its a bad idea?

what graphics card would you reccomend to replace the 2 GTX 570s

[Nemonix]

Only the Prodigy M supports Multi GPUs.

 

yes this is the case I will be purchasing very soon

[SirSquid]

yes this is the case I will be purchasing very soon

Then yes it does, Just make sure you get the M-ATX version.

A single R9 280x would perform similarly to two 570s in games that don't need more than 2gb of VRAM, and in games that do, a 280x will be much better. 

 

I'd sell both 570s and go with an R9 290x. 

[That Norwegian Guy]

The Prodigy M is one of the mATX cases on the market with the worst air flow characteristics, and considering you have GTX 570s I'd call it a trainwreck waiting to happen.

 

And I say this as the biggest BitFenix fanboy on planet earth.
