Is this EVGA GeForce GT 740 Superclocked Dual Slot 2GB DDR3 Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2743-KR (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Superclocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2743-KR/dp/B00KJGYOFC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8) compatible with this Motherboard M5A97 R2.0 (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/specifications/)?

Also, can I put two of these graphic cards on my MoBo? Please help how can I know if my Mobo is compatible with any Video Card?

What's the difference between this (x4 mode, black) and this (blue)?

I'm sorry newbie here, what do you mean by "You won't be able to SLI to 740's.........."? Does it mean that I cant have 2 of this GPU on my MoBo? But can I still have 2 GPUs on my mobo but not with this GPU?

You cannot SLI, because the GT 740 does not have those 2 sli fingers required for a SLI config.
That's what I meant by saying the 740 lacks SLI support.
Your motherboard supports only crossfire as I see, that means that you can run only AMD dual graphics.

Hey ChumP, Can you still help me with my another problem?
I heard that the PSU you are referring causes a tripping for other users who had this? Do you know what could be the problem with it? Cause I heard also that SeaSonic is a reputable Company.
Do I really need to have a 520w PSU? Can you please sum up my total electricity consumption with those specs on a not so very heavy-gaming and what is the wattage should I consider when buying?
ChumP does this GPU you refer to me supports SLI? I also want to confirm if this GPU supports 5 monitors?
Also ChumP, Can you suggest me an affordable 1 piece 8gb ram for this MoBo?
Please help me cause I'm just a total Newbie, Please.....
(sorry for asking many questions)

The Seasonic S12II, is a high quality PSU at an afordable price and won't cause any problems for your system.
The power consumption for your system would be around 400W , but you need headroom for safety reasons, so the S12II will be perfect for your build.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 950 Support Superclocked+ ACX 2.0 supports SLI configurations.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 950 Support Superclocked+ ACX 2.0 supports up to 4 monitor setups.

RAM :
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1x8) DDR3-1600 - 39.99$
