First a little disclaimer: I have quite a few questions and thought it would be best to put then in one post so any help on any one out multiple questions would be awesome! I am also not super adept at computer building and such so forgive me for that please.
I currently have an acer Predator ag3610-ur10p for gaming. I will link the specs here:
Currently I have a problem with my power supply. I believe I just need a new one. Knowing that and having some cash from Christmas I decided I wanted to upgrade the graphics card also. I believe I will be going with the gtx 770. My current case is not big enough to fit the 770 so I decided to get an actual gaming car along with the case which brings me to my first question. I want to keep as much of the old computers components as possible because I am on a tight budget. I have looked around and I can't find the type of motherboard that it has. Would I be able to take my mother board and put it in a normal gaming case? Also will I be able to run the gtx770 on the motherboard?
This is mostly separate from the first part but still about upgrading my computer. I was looking at the monitor I should get in a few months after I get the gtx770 and have stumbled upon the 1440p Korean monitors. I then had an idea. Rather than first buying the graphics card I could buy the monitor and temporarily use my brothers old gtx280 until I get enough to get the monitor. Because the gtx280 is only 60 bucks I was also thinking I could buy another one and run then sli and possibly a third and put off the gtx770 for a while so I could either get a nice keyboard or maybe get the 780 and in the mean time get.the monitor. Once I got the new card I would sell the graphics cards to someone for a slight loss but it seems with it. I have read about sli and whether or not it is worth it and I am torn. I know it is hard to make comparisons but I was wondering if someone could tell me how dual and triple sli gtx280 world perform. Just an estimate would be helpful. Also would my current board support sli? There are 3 slots for graphics cards so I assume so but I wanted to make sure.
Sorry for the huge chunks of text. I would really appreciate all help. Thank you!
