That board has 2 PCI-E slots (hence the SLI in its name) I don't feel it would be wise to get 2 of those cards for that particular system. The 939 socket is dated and your bottleneck will be your cpu, and / or ram. I'd upgrade at the very least to an AM2 socket and one of AMD's high up processors, or go for a new core i7 mobo for intel if you are going to drop that much money on expensive video cards.
an SLI motherboard means that it supports SLI (2 video cards)
but I really must warn you.
Other then crysis there is no game that you need something like that to play.
There are also many issues with SLI and crossfire.
And if you are to run a pc with SLI or crossfire you can only have 1 monitor.

they should fit, but if your gonna run SLI i would suggest a new motherboard.
this is the best one from intel - 780i
but if its too pricey,
nvidia 750i
and just incase u run amd processors
780a
and
750a
all are nvidia based motherboards
the 780's can run x3 SLI and the 750's x2 SLI, but the 750a can only run the second card at x8, not x16

Yup thats what I thought...your board will definitely bottleneck your gpu's, not only for the above reasons, but for the clear fact that those slots are PCI-E 1.0, not 2.0, which provides the best performance for those high-end cards.
Get a new mobo and processor is my advice.

The new nvidia SLI drivers allow for the use of 2 monitors, but everything else he said is pretty accurate.
