Hi there, just need to know if I will be able to game at all if I SLI 2 GTX 950s

Heres the build.

Motherboard: Asus z170 pro
Processor: Intel i7 6700K
Ram: DDR4 16GB
Graphics Card: 2 Asus Gefore GTX 950 SLI
PSU: 650W

p.s: it's my first build, any feedback would be nice
pps: still don't know if these parts even go together. but so far its booting up windows just fine.

also i'm running into this problem where when i hook up my 2 graphics cards the tv shows no signal. Plugging in through HDMI.

I tried installing the drivers with the disc but it shows up as hardware incompatible (while the hardware is not plugged in)

I'm using two GTX 950s in SLI right now. Just got finished playing WoW, Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition this evening on a 1920x1200 monitor. Its doing fine. I averaged 50 FPS in Skyrim SE on ultra and about 55 in Fallout 4... also on ultra. WoW pretty much stays nailed @ 60 FPS on max settings with shadows turned down one notch. The SLI scaling is around 60% with those three. My CPU is an i7 4790k. So yes, you can game with such a setup. You might have to turn down a thing or two if it starts stuttering from the 2GB VRAM, but all in all I'm satisfied with the performance.

Wish I could help - never had hooked up my PC to a TV before. Do you have the HDMI cable plugged into the top card (the one closest to the processor)?

I actually fixed this issue! or at least i think there was an issue to begin with. So i hooked up the graphics card closer to the processor first and after about 5 minutes it booted up! I installed all the drivers from the disc that came with the graphics card right away and then turned off and unplugged the PC and installed the 2nd one. That time it took 6 minutes to boot while the screen showed no signal (almost gave up). Then once it booted I set the program to use both cards.
