Sure. You can put what ever you want in the computer. They won't work together anyway but for the random stuff they will still work.

you will need to run 2 different GPU drivers

 

but yes it can be done

 

but its more of a headache than smooth sailing

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

You can use them to run two or more monitors, but each monitor will run off the respective card they're plugged in to. You can't combine the performance of the two cards to run a single-monitor application like you would with SLI/CF.
