That would be a negative; only one PCIE 16x slot available.

Best case scenario would be you selling the 560 and picking up a 590 if you wanted SLI.

A 590 is a dual GPU card that runs in SLI.

Your board doesn't support SLI in the sense of running two physical cards in tandem; in fact, looking at the specs a little more it doesn't seem to support SLI or Crossfire at all (understandably so given the 1 16x slot). So if want a little extra horsepower consider either a 570 or a 670.
