SLI on MSI Z170A Gaming M7

[FrankCai]

Is it a good idea?

Why? What card.

 

Well you should not be worry for the mobo you should worry about heat/power it costs when having 2 cards but not the mobo.

uhm, the motherboard doesn't really matter as long as it supports SLI, which it does. What is your current PC? Are you building a new one? It's usually better to get the best single GPU before doing SLI.

Don't get that. Get a G2 or something, NEX G isn't great.
