Yes, but its not recommended. Plus you would have to buy a new case or mod yours to fit it in.

Yes, but remember you'll have to short the motherboard connection on the second PSU or it won't turn on.

Most ATX cases only hold 1 Power Supply Unit, unless you somehow cut another hole to fit a cord in and to screw another PSU in.

Personally I would just buy a new Power Supply that covers everything.

I mean that it isn't recommended by me, More heat, less room, plus the if you put use one for a graphics card and one for the rest of the computer the amps on one might not power the card. Just my 2 cents.
