    Also, how much do they cost? I'm looking to upgrade some time this year, and I didn't know how difficult it would be to do by myself.

    It depends on A) If your case is big enough and will have enough airflow, and B) If your motherboard supports it.

    I don't know that there's a kit (I may be wroong), but if you have an SLI motherboard, then you can just get two of the same GeForce cards with SLI-capabilities, and get some connectors, and you'll be set :p

    Edit:Your power supply also needs to be capable (2 pci-ex power connectors) And make sure you have enough wattage.

    You install the 2nd card, heatsink and Bridge cable then done. :) (not complicated at all) Then just install drivers. :) Sager includes a guide on the install.
