Explanation:

1. SLI (Scalable Link Interface) requires a motherboard with multiple PCI - e x16 slots to connect multiple graphics cards for improved performance in gaming. So, purchasing a motherboard with two or more PCI - e x16 slots is relevant.
2. Purchasing two graphics cards with SLI and similar specifications is necessary as SLI works by using multiple compatible graphics cards.
3. Connecting at least one monitor to the graphics card is part of the basic setup for using the computer for gaming after configuring SLI. The other options are not directly related to SLI configuration.

Answer:

• Purchase a motherboard with two or more PCI - e x16 slots.
• Purchase two graphics cards with SLI and similar specifications.
• Connect at least one monitor to the graphics card.
