Crossfire/SLI for my Asus P8H67 Motherboard, I5 2400 3.1ghz
Weather it is worth it is completely up to you.
As for if your board supports SLI, that would be no. SLI requires a certification from Nvidia to be able to be used (except for dual GPU cards like the GTX690 and TitanZ), which requires at least x8/x8 on the PCIe lanes. Your board runs the PCIe bus at a maximum of X16 and X4, and note that the x4 lanes are coming from the chipset (h67), which will add some latency. Ideally you want x8/x8 directly off the CPU, which with SandyBridge (intel 2000 series processors and E3-1200v1 series) you will want a P67 or Z68 motherboard for SLI of crossfire.
Try the highest tire single AMD or Nvidia GPU you can afford for now and see if you even need crossfire (chances are you will not). The best GPU I would recommend would be either a GTX970 or a R9 290 or 290x. If you want to crossfire, start with the 290x and upgrade later if you feel the need.
Also take into account you only want to SLI or Crossfire with teh top end cards 290(x)/970/980 as in games that do not support CFx and SLI you will be limited to the poerformance of one card.
