Some Upgrades to the PC Rig

[man5000000]

Hi! I'm looking to turn a rig I built earlier this year into a SLI/Crossfire with a new motherboard, case, and a second card.
Will this build work?

If not, how do I need to change it?
Will my sli work even with an AMD processor?
Thank you!

SLI will work

Partpicker is yelling about not enough PCIe power connectors. Should probably look into that.

Another option would be to sell the GTX760 and purchase a GTX970 for about ~1.7 times the performance. GTX980 is just about the same performance as a pair of GTX760.

That 2GB of VRAM is going to start to become an issue with newer high end games.

I have a modular PSU, can I add another cable to it for power? I have an extra slot on the psu

Great! Do I need a bridge for it, and if so which would you recommend?

But many GPUs have already bridges in box.

My other 760 did not come with a bridge. Do you need a particular one depending on manufacturing company or will any Nvidia one work?

SLI bridges are not special, you just need to make sure it is long enough to connect the two cards.
