can i upgrade to a i7 quad core processor a 780ti evga graphics card in this tower and usb 3.0??

It has a i7 quad core in it already just an older version. As far as the 780ti graphics card, you will have to upgrade your power supply to at least a 600w which isn't hard to do. For usb 3.0, you will have to buy an expansion card.

No you can't upgrade the graphics card. you can only install the same graphics mainly for replacements.

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

It should be, although I have not tried that specific graphics card in this motherboard. However, if you are buying the card new and not reusing it from another system, I'd recommend getting a PCIe 3.0-compliant graphics card, as the Asus Z87-PLUS supports this faster PCIe standard.

Intel graphics are horrible for gaming, if this tower has pci-e a good graphics card could be added

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

I don't know what type of video card you got with the system. The answer is probably. You'd swap out the existing card or use the open slots on the mother board. You should verify you have the correct slot for the card. Second, I have an i7. It's freaking great!!! But you need fast memory to go along with it. If your system doesn't come with good gaming memory, then upgrade that along with your i7. It will cost about 40 bux to get kick ass memory, Google gaming memory for options.

No, it's a separate graphics card. It's not the worst, but not the best either. If you want to upgrade it, you'll need to upgrade the power supply also.

It already has the latest graphics card (670). I don't think you can change the hardware, but you can upgrade the driver by going to www.nvidia.com Just let the website automatically detect the graphics card and tell you the current driver and if necessary install the latest driver.

Not sure, but I couldn't run them at max speed with my 3rd gen I7 anyways cause quad-core doesn't like such high RAM speeds

Yes you can but you should upgrade your graphics card, I recommend a Geforce 750 gtx

I have a Radeon 6770 in it currently, and there's room to spare, so I'm sure the 780 will fit. :)

Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti. You will only need one (1) card to run any game you want. I know that every Rig may perform differently and I really don't know if your running all your components on stock speed or OC. The 560ti does not support GPU Boost 2.0 and other new tech NVIDIA has come out with. Using Valley Benchmark my Graphics cards kicks in at 1333MHz with Video Memory at 3500Mhz all max setting with an average FPS of about 85. So will this card outperform to SLI 560ti I would think so. Good luck on your purchase. Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti.

The processor in question has integrated graphics chipsets, specifically "Intel® HD Graphics 2500". Look to the Intel website for more information: http://ark.intel.com/products/65509
