Oh Thanks, but what do you think guys, SLI or upgrade to a new GPU?

If I were you, I'd upgrade to a stronger single GPU, less heat output thus less power needed.

Yes. You can do three way SLI with a GTX 760. It can be any 760 - MSI, EVGA, ASUS, etc. It just won't necessarily look symmetrical.

I have EVGA and MSI, and a galaxy sitting in case of failure I have one to swap in.

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

The problem with SLI is you run into compatibility and/or scaling issues in games - you may get 100%, 80%, or 30% scaling. Therefore, it's recommended you use a single, more powerful GPU and use SLI/Crossfire at a later date or continue upgrading to a single, more powerful GPU.

Well thats good and all and while you cant, I stated that if  you had the hardware, you could do it. Not that you could do it with your current hardware :D

Ok so question. I'm currently looking to build a mini LAN box type PC and im looking at motherboards. Could you guys suggest any motherboards? 

 

Im thinking of putting a Intel Core i3 4160 CPU and a Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti Overclocked 2GB

 

All the motherboards I've looked at in my price range only say they support AMD crossfire NOT SLI. Can I still use a Nvidia card in the motherboard when it only says supports Crossfire?

Thanks :)

 

PS. I would also like the Motherboard to be kinda future proof-ish... So like i can upgrade CPU and GPU in time :)
