The powersupply is a hipro 600 watt dual 12v rails with 20 amps each. now my videocard doesnt require a connector to be put on so event though my powersupply isnt sli certified would i be to sli them or not.

Ya, you should have no problems, all you have to do, if you need a 6 pin power supply cable for the video card is, most cards will come with a 2 4 pin molex to 6 pin power adapter, just use that.

And if it doesn't which it doesn't look like it does just get one of these.

You don't its just some pci-e cards have a 6 pin power adapter on them, mainly higher end cards, I was just showing it to you in case you had one. No you have plenty of power in your psu, you should be good to go.

Ok thanks. do you think its worth it to go sli should i spend the money on it or not?
 
Well sli'ing two mid range cards isn't very good, but your only other option is upgrading to like a 7900gt. If you are happy with its performance then I would say no, if you are having some trouble playing games then why not. Its really up to you.
 
You'll notice most in performance when using bigger resolutions, AA and AF, if you go with a SLI setup.

Ya so if you want to play games at 1280x1024 but are stuck at 1024x768, then it will help a lot, its just won't like double your fps if you are playing games on all high at a high resolution if its handles them ok.

I play games at which the max resolution my monitor can go to 1680x1050 and i usually use AA and AF to. I can max out all my games including FEAR with this card but it lags sometimes but not to bad. would it help in this situation or not.
