What motherboard and processor do you have first? You will have to ensure enough PCI E lanes before doing any SLI configuration.

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard (AMD 970/SB950, DDR3, 6 x S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI-Express 2.0, USB 3.0, Socket AM3+)

And processor is Amdfx6300

In short no, the 970chipset on your motherboard only supports crossfire.

It's best to buy identical graphics cards for SLI configurations. I couldn't guarantee it will work or will not work. Best thing to do is go buy the same card you already got for SLI configurations.
