Absolutely, with caveats:

1: You have to have the room for a 3 slot card, and a 2 slot card, and an SLI bridge long enough to connect the cards.

2: You have to have an SLI capable board.

Yeah but I dont think my 850w would be powerful enough plus I plan on overclocking the 2600k+ 16gb memory

ok then if thats the case then were looking at 659.56w for 2 Cards + Mobo + 16gb + 3 Burners + 3 HDDs + 7 Fans +2600k OC + 6 usb Devices :dance:

I doubt a 850w is enough for all that.

lol on that note I think I'll just leave the sli alone. Because that card is big and power enough to run any game at max speed. Besides I can't afford a hx1000w Corsair at the moment and yes I only love corsair. lol
