“I know it is a 1000W power supply. Can you tell me if it is a PFC? Need to know for my purchase of a UPS. Also, one of the questions was,"can a second graphics card be added later"? It wasn't answered. Does this motherboard support two graphics cards?”

Short Answer: No. Don't try it. You'll be really sad if you do. Long Answer: Technically speaking yes. The computer comes with an MSI Z270-A Pro, which supports AMD crossfire; however, it does NOT support Nvidia SLI. So, if you took out the GTX 1080 and put in say two Raedon Pro Duos yes you'd have two functional graphics cards in it. Is this advisable? No, no, and a third time no. This is a stupid idea that would be terribly expensive and definitely not deliver any performance boost. A GTX 1080 outstrips all AMD graphics cards at this point in time and multiple GPUs suffer from a diminishing returns (ie the second one will provide half the performance of the first and a third or fourth will provide almost zero benefit). Additionally, while the motherboard may support this, many games you want to play will not. All this factored together would mean that you'd have worse graphics that are less reliable and more expensive than if you'd have stuck with the 1080. It would be cheaper to purchase a single GTX 1080 Ti or even a Nvidia Titan Xp than to try the crossfire plan and it would probably result in better graphics.
