Maybe, but its a little more than just a walk in the park. It is still slightly more difficult to set up than a standard build and there's a greater chance to get things wrong.
The cost of a higher wattage PSU and outfitting a case for cooling (nicer case, additional case fans) has to be added to the cost of SLI. Its not just 760 price x2 vs 780 price. The PSU price increase and case/fan/fan controller price increase all have to be added to the 760 side. There is also a need to buy higher binned 760s which will help alleviate some thermal issues.

With your level of experience, you might think its stupid to buy a high end GPU without an accompanying PSU, but most new builders have little to no experience (think of how many people buy Raidmax PSUs). All a new buyer sees is: "WoW, double the performance of a 760 for much less than the price of a 780,
thats a steal!". Its the job of experienced "mentors" to point out that there are some strings attached.
There's also the issue of buyers overextending their budgets. Many times I've seen buyers pay too much on non-performance parts only to realize later that they've squandered most of their budget and to make their build work, they'd have to spend budget that they don't have. Its difficult for new buyers to understand and process the "big picture" due to lack of experience.
Only ZX7 edition motherboards are SLI capable. Z75/Z85 are not SLI capable and neither are B75 and H edition motherboards.
