AS long as your power supply can handle it , that your motherboard supports sli and you have proper airflow , you should be fine.

Dont get another card. Most games dont support sli and shit the bed. Just get the 980 Ti. A single card

Every game I play supports sli. Ive used sli since shortly after my first build. Id do it. Performance would even out in some games compared to a better card over 2 cards. Which is why my 980s are collecting dust on my desk. Worthless upgrade. You may have better luck.

2 980's will give you better frames compared to a single ti.
