Hello,

I was wondering how hard it would be to add another GTX 980 to this setup in the future? I see it is SLI ready but not 100% sure what all that means. I will also want to add an i7 CPU to the system eventually. Thanks for the help.

Hi RyanHa....   The Vanquish lvl 4 can take another 980 in sli.   Just have to plug it into the other Pciex16 slot , install the  sli bridge across both cards , plug in the 2x Pcie connectors from the power supply and setup SLI in the Nvidia Control Panel. 

The 750watt psu is the minimum recommended but should work just fine .   

Hope this helps and good luck. Big%20Smile

Bringing up an old post...

I just added a 2nd PNY 970 in SLI to my early Vanquish 3 Lvl 4 and don't see much of a performance gain. I think my display ( a 32" JVC TV) is my next roadblock.

Considering saving up for a 4K Acer monitor. It it worth the effort?

What about overclocking? Could use some good advice.
