Hello, I'd like to know what do i need to do SLI with two GTX 660 non TI, my system specs are:

Processor: AMD FX 8350 4.0 ghz

RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600 mhz Corsair vengeance 1 x 8 GB

PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 725 W

Graphic card: PNY Nvidia GTX 660
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS

everything is brand new bought last week, i know the mobo needs to change because it doesn't have 2 PCIE x16 slots, but, Can I kept everything but the mobo and get another gtx 660? it needs to be PNY exactly the same? and I only have one cooler master 10$ fan on it, i need more coolers?, thanks!!

You will need a new motherboard. What is your case, and adding more fans is a good idea. Also, I would use this RAM instead

These are good motherboards for SLI support: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

You can use any GTX 660: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

New RAM (Dual channel helps a lot): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

yep your motherboard doesnt support sli. So you can either buy a new motherboard and another 660, or you can just sell the 660 you have and buy a better single card like a gtx770.
