Welcome to the forums Lonewolfe,

Yes your motherboard can handle it. I would be more worried about that PSU handling that GTX295:

Sigma PSUs dont even get a mention in out guide, personally i havent heard of them - which is a bad sign already. I would recommend one of these instead (probably the second one):

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies
Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S75CF 750W EPS12V SLI NVIDIA SLI Certified (Dual 8800 GTX and below) CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

This looks like a pre-built system, if you are willing to build it yourself, we can recommend a great build for your budget instead.

I think that's the build he already has, he's just wanting to upgrade.#

Edit: Wait, nvm, me being stoopid >_<

Using Cyberpower/ Ibuypower are we?

I'd recommend against that highly! Go build your own rig, and you'd be more satisfied.. It will work nonetheless, but shouldn't you get an SLI AMD board instead of a Crossfire board with a Dual GPU Card

Build your own. You will be soo much happier.

I have never heard of that PSU brand before and would not trust it.

i third or fourth the suggestion to build your own Pc, much better value for the price, and you gain experience.
