So I want to SLI on this board but I also want to have an Intel 750 series PCIE ssd.
My question is will this work with a gpu in the top slot the ssd in the 2nd full size slot and another gpu in the last slot?

SLI will not work like that, the bottom slot only supports x4 and SLI currently requires at least x8 for both cards.

So to make SLI + an Intel 750 work on that board you will have to put a single-slot graphics card in the second slot to make enough room for the 750 in the bottom slot.

...or you get a PCI-e flexible extension ribbon and put the 750 in a 5th or +1 PCI slot in the case.
