Swapping a pc motherboard for another if the back plate is affected?

~This is my first pc. So bare with me. ~

On the back of a custom pc, there's that pc metallic back plate that has the ports and stuff. I want to know if i am able to take a motherboard that supports only 1 video graphic card for another motherboard that may have maybe like 2way or 3way or 4way sli? Do all or certain motherboards require different back plating because of precut holes? because of going from a motherboard that supports 1 sli to a motherboard that has 2 way,3way or 4way? sli? Maybe down the road i want to expand.

here is the pc i ordered

I am swapping the graphic card for a gtx770

A new motherboard would include the piece that are you taking about since that piece is unique to each motherboard. The tower seems quite large so it should fit but you would want to double check if you are getting one of those giant motherboards.

Thanks Pondering.
I ordered that pc to be shipped to the store; for that I am just planning ahead with possibilities to expand and down the road.
I am looking at getting a bigger and sexier tower from this site ---> http://www.nzxt.com/ "Full tower" or ultra. Now i thought of the liquid cooling. I may be stuck with the pre built custom pc as it is... I wanted to take this pc and build upon it.
