Yes you could you just need the extra PCIe port. if you plan to add a physx card then yes but if you are just upgrading to the 1080 (no 960 physx) then you should be able to pull it off.

 

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

The PSU will be easily enough for the GPU.

 

Winning an argument with a woman step by step

step one - talk to her

step two - fight with her for 2 hours even if you are really right

step three - admit that she is right for the sake of your safety

step four - realize that you have accomplished nothing and she still thinks you were wrong and now she thinks you are even more stupid

No you can't you need 2 1080's if you want to do that.

Yes but why would you do that?
