Specs from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

PCI Express 2.0 x16:   4 (x16, x16, x4, x4)
PCI Express x1:    2


Should be able to support 6 cards.

You will need a much more powerful PSU for 6 cards. I doubt 650W would even support 2 cards.

Also will need some pci x1/x16 riser cables for all the cards to fit with reasonable amount of space for air to flow.

Thanks for helping!, i was thinking in buy a 1200w psu for the other cards, that will support 4?

Should be fine, depending on the cards.
