Hi, I have an Alienware Aurora R4 purchase from Dec 2013, which came with an SLI configuration of Nvidia Geforce 780 GTX cards. I am wanting to upgrade this to an Nvidia 980 GTX SLI configuration instead.

Do the factory specs it came with support this type of upgrade? (PSU, Architecture, Fitting room)

I spoke to one of their reps and they said the case was a full size ATX chassis. I am pretty sure it can support it but I wanted to ask some experts for their opinions. I do plan to build my own machine next time but if I can get by with this upgrade for now it would save some $$$

Thanks a lot!
