Hello. My younger brother has A8-5600k Asus A85m-CSM 3x4gb of ram and a Asus GTX 560 TI DirectOC. He has asked my if he were to get an exact other one could he run SLI. I'm not sure but I think his mobo doesn't support SLI.

AMD A10-7850k, Cooler Master 212 EVO, Team 2133 2x4gb, V300 120gb, DVD, 3 HDD, MSI A88X-G43, Asus Strix GTX 970, EVGA Super Nova G2 850watt, Acer B326HUL

Nope, tell him to get a better card, maybe a r9 280, they are cheap now.
