Hey I have a the marauder level 3 and I wanted to Know if it would be possible to put a Nvidia gtx 670 or 680 in it? If possible what other upgrades would I need to accomplish this or do I technically need a whole new rig?

Monitor I'm using for gaming is Dell ultrasharp 23 inch.

Thanks =)

The Marauder 3 can easily upgrade to a gtx 670.    You can't sli with that mobo but replace 660ti with 670.

Okay how bout a gtx680? I guessing that should be fine too? Would I need any suggested upgrades like processor or power supply for 670 or 680?

Thanks for the info!!!

You're good to go with either card.   Just being old school, I'd build a system with 800w psu for the gtx 680 especially if I overclocked the cpu, but 600w is fine. Not worth changing. You're 3570k cpu is excellant.

Good luck.

You're welcome.  Big%20Smile
 
Just a thought....  Instead of spending a bunch on a new card for maybe 20-30% boost, wait for the new Nvidia 7 series in several months to see what they offer. 
 
Enjoy.

That is the big conundrum for PC hardware. Buy now, or wait until the next generation comes out? It has drove many a man insane. Big%20Smile

This poor chap is a good example.
