Yes you should be able to SLI them. Your psu should be fine to power both in your build if you don't overclock your build that much.

So.. how does it work?

It screams at any game I throw at it.........I am a Motion Design student at Ringling College and I do alot of 3D design work in C4D as well. I need to upgrade to 32GB RAM for this though. I can still run C4D with ease and render just fine but i need more RAM, especially for After Effects. Gaming wise im golden tho. VR Ready by a long shot.
