Hey how you guys doing, i have a rare build first of all. running 2 xeons cpus with a 1100watt psu. I currently have a msi r9 270x. I was wondering which cards are out there that is better than the 270x that still uses 2 6 pin connectors. i wouldn't say a 960gtx isnt much of an upgrade.

please and thank you ( i know this isn't the best build.. but i got the server computer for 100 bucks used and i have been running it for the last 2 years give or take)

If one of the connectors is a 6+2, you can go up to the biggest single-GPU cards. Like the R9-390X or the GTX 980 Ti. If only 6 pin, then drop back to the GTX 980.
But a 1100W PSU with only 2 x 6 pin PCIe power cables is suspicious. You may want to check the nameplate on the PSU and find out what the +12V rail specs are. That is the power for the gfx card.
