Hey!

1: Yes your MOBO supports Nvidia SLI.
2: It will be close but yes your case has enough room for the two cards, your case supports cards of up to 322mm in length and the Gigabyte Windforce 980 4G is 312mm long.
3: 1000W should be more than enough, each card should need no more than 165W each.
4: No the MOBO and GPUs being different brands shouldn't effect performance at all.

Hope this helped !

2 980s need a STRONG cpu or they'll be bottlenecked. Preferably a 6 core intel.
