Hello,
I'm asking for a friend here as we cannot figure it out. We're trying to set up his 960FTW 4gb in SLI, but the option to enable sli isn't showing up at all. Both of the cards are recognized on the computer.
He has a MSI Z170a pro motherboard, i5 6500k, 600W PSU.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

That motherboard does not support SLI. SLI requires both 16x ports to run at atleast 8x speeds, on that board the 2nd 16x slot only runs at 4x speeds.

That usually works for Crossfire but SLI is a bit more picky.
