    I need seem help figuring out some things -
    I'm not sure what motherboard this thing has, on Belarc I found this -

    Board: Alienware 0XDJ4C A00

    I want to upgrade to 500-600 series card. Right now I have two 295gtx cards, and I am wondering if I can do this? I probably won't get two cards, or maybe I could keep a 295 to handle physics but the new card is what I want to know about. I know I'd have to upgrade my Power Supply too.

    Can anyone help me figure this out please.

    Since it already supports SLI (two graphics cards running in tandum) you shouldn't hav any problem running the latest cards from nvidia. Like you said you might need to upgrade your power supply to do so but it is possible. You don't need to know the motherboard model since it is already running two 295s.
