Hey, I haven't received my pc yet but I wanted to know if in the future I would be able to SLI graphics cards. So I went on the site, brought up the Define X1 and went on to configure it, added a second Graphics card and went to proceed, a window then flashed that the Motherboard was not compatible with the RAM and since these are the ones already selected for that build it has me slightly worried, can anyone shine any light on this situation?

1) I've noticed this about the RAM and am not sure what the answer is. I'd suggest phoning PC Specialist and asking
2) If you select lower speed RAM just to get around the warning and click proceed with 2 x GTX 1080s it lets you do so without a PSU warning message so you should be fine to add a second one
3) bear in mind that some GTX 1080s may have larger power max draw than others. So PCS's configurator may be assuming a 180W GTX 1080, but if you slap an EVGA GTX 1080 Classified in there, it might need more juice: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6286-KR
4) In case you weren't aware, the Define's fixed price is only available through the "order now" button. Clicking "configure" causes the spec to go to its normal price which is ~£200-300 higher. If you use the order now button and look at the spec, it does the 3000MHz DDR4 as being part of the build.
Hope those random points are of some interest

Hey Thanks for the answers, rang PCS and they basically said they have had problems with it so they were downgrading it to the 2666 mhz ones and credited me £5.
