As long as your board supports SLI, yes. It's also only two way SLI.

And your PSU and case.

 

It'll still work even if the PSU isn't capable though it wouldn't be wise but you could :) and if two don't fit in the case you could always use sticky tape and bodge it :P

 

@Peekyou, please don't try any of that, I'm just f**king about :)

Or have it sit somewhere where it won't short out and use a PCI-E extender.

It's not just if it will fit, the case will also affect temperatures. And if the PSU can't power both GPUs then I wouldn't consider that to be fully supporting SLI.
