Hi zimron.... Congrats on the new Bolt.    Lots of power in a small package.   

The 690 won't work in the Bolt.   Being a dual gpu card that dumps half the heat into the case is too much for the package.   The 780 is a super card, so not much scarifice.

The SSD mounts under the right side cover, next to motherboard.   Its just simply taking off the clamshell-like cover and the bracket for 2nd drive is on top of original drive.    Not a tool-less mount so a couple of small screws is needed like in the 'ole days.

Best of luck.

My pleasure.   Stay safe.
