Yep your good. depending on how much you plan on buying the new 8600gt for, you could sell your older one and buy a better card (8800gt for like 270). Make sure your psu has enough amps on the 12v rail for sli'd 8600gt. Also rember not all games take advantage of sli, and hardly any will gain 2x the power. If you can get the 8600gt for around $100 you should be good.
