I want to upgrade to a 980 TI from my current 660

Here is my current build:
Windows 7
i5 4590 4core Haswell 3.5ghz
1TB Western Digital 7200rpm
8 gb G.Skill Ripjaws
Asus Z87 Sabertooth SLI
EVGA 850w SLIready Bronze
Samsung DVD duallayer write
Dual band 300mbps WiFi PCIe
EVGA GTX 660 2gb VRAM
120mm Zalman Optima CPU Air Cooler
Deepcool Kendomen Black ATX Mid Tower Case
(There are a total of 6 fans on the case itself, I believe)

My question is: is my build capable of handling a 980 TI and eventually two in SLI?
More specifically, I was concerned that my motherboard or power supply would not be able to handle the TIs and that the entire build would not have enough air circulation to keep it cool.

Thanks!

So if I want a 980 TI (or two) I am looking at a CPU upgrade as well?

What is your reasoning that it will be able to handle the gpus? Not trying to contradict you or anything I am just trying to see why you disagree with the others who answered.

Tried running Battlefield 4? That game would insult the CPU with 2x GTX 980 Ti, even 2x GTX 780 Ti. Games that are both CPU intensive and GPU intensive will have a hard time running especially two GTX 980 Ti's. I don't even see the point in two GTX 980 Ti's. There comes a point where people prioritize graphics too much.
