I was thinking about maybe buying a new graphic card/cards to my pc so i thought about using a SLI config with 2 gtx 650 BOOST so i want to know what may go wrong when using an SLI config because i heard SLI can cause lots of problems and i use dual monitors and maybe tripple monitors so so i need good cards.

my pc specs:
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 SLI
CPU: AMD FX-4170 X4 4,2GHz Black Edition
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE LP
and my current 650 that dosent support SLI ):
ASUS GeForce GTX 650Ti 1024MB DirectCUII OC

If your system is not ready for SLI there can be a tons of problems, bottlenecks mainly or PSU issues.

Main problems are

1.Heat
2.Noise
3.Power consumption
4.Game support.

My only complaint are Nvidia drivers, but that's something we learn to live with.
