Hi,

I already have a computer built, so this would be purely adding another card in:

I have a Firepro W5100 in my desktop, used for CAD work and similar. Could I add a gaming card (gtx 970 or r9 290x) if I want to get into gaming?

They wouldn't have to be crossfire, they would be purely for different purposes.

Thanks!

How would I go about doing that? And would there be any benefit to sticking with an AMD card over Nvidia?

And how would display outputs work? Which card would I plug monitors into?

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this
