Specs:
- NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB
- Intel Core i5 4570 CPU
- 8GB 1600MHz Memory
- CM Hyper 212 EVO Cooling
- 1TB 7200RPM HDD
- ASUS Z87 Chipset Motherboard
- 600W Corsair CX Power Supply
- DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW
- Microsoft Windows 7

Price: 1,059 without tax

I might want to add another 760 in the future so does the mother handle that? Other then that does this over heat for maybe 5-6 hours of gaming?

it just has to be supported, i think its the chipset that supports/not support it. check the motherboard specs, it apperantly supports crossfire.

pre-built PC's will always skip out on something, they have to get paid afterall, i guess this one in particular is the motherboard.

OK your CPU is clock locked so that you can barely overclock it at all. People only buy a cooler if they want to overclock (provided you're not buying an OEM CPU you'll get a cooler in the box with it included free). And your motherboard is an overclocking-enabled chipset, which will cost more. To be honest I'd stick with a Z87 board regardless because prices aren't that different, but the cooler is a waste of money if you don't overclock.

So if you want to overclock, get an i5 4670K (which is unlocked) and use that cooler. If you don't, stick with the i5 4570 and just use the stock cooler that comes with it. The stock cooler performs very well when not overclocking (obviously Intel don't want people's CPUs overheating and then having to replace them under warranty).

But the thing is they don't let you change the CPU, and I really like this setup with this price it's almost like you made it yourself. Lets say i don't overclock the CPU, what do I miss out on?? Also can I add a 760 in the future so I can have 2?

That's not a problem, I can always change the power source.

building your own would allow you to do all these things you want, probably for cheaper... and its real easy, you should look into it, newegg has a how-to-build a pc in 4x30 minute videos on youtube, very easy.
