The ASUS Z87 line should be able to support SLI, preferably at least the Z87-A or Z87-PLUS (Can you list the specific type of ASUS Z87?) . However, you will need to upgrade the PSU as two GTX 760s will draw quite a lot of power.

Renox-1361535 :

It cannot run GTX 760 SLI, you must change the motherboard to at least a Z87-A to be able to run GTX 760 SLI, if you can edit it to a motherboard that supports SLI, please do so.

The Q6660 Inside :

There is no option for that. Is it easy to change after?

The Q6660 Inside · Jul 15, 2013

Renox-1361535 :

It is not easy, and with the effort needed, it would be better to truly customize a rig and build it from scratch, find some good guides or bite the bullet and get the "Ultimate" SKU.

buidling a pc from scratch isnt hard at all and is generally what we suggest here on TH.

there are plenty of people who will help you customize your build as well.

It is not very easy, but definitely not hard, it can just be confusing for first-timers.
Here are some fully built (OS and monitor included) systems.

@q6660

while most certainly it can be confusing if doing it on your own that is why i suggested getting the advice from people here on TH. with such advice even a 13 year old child can assemble a computer. people just make it out to be more complicated than it really is. the hard part is picking out the components but piecing them all together is like legos.

I agree with you, now to get more people on the thread......

The Q6660 Inside :

This intel build is 1400!! And I have to build it myself,
To me the one I already have is cheaper and seems to be the same stuff, are you guys sure building a PC from scratch is easier then changing a motherboard??

The Q6660 Inside · Jul 16, 2013

Renox-1361535 :

They are about equal in terms of difficulty. Changing the motherboard=unplugging all cables, removing heatsink, CPU, etc and that has a similar amount of effort as actually building from scratch. This includes the monitor, superior processors, SSD, better PSU and other goodies.
