That looks great but the only problem is I have an 8800 and I'm getting another one.

If you are going SLI, don't settle for anything less than 1000W. Those babies need serious juice, and draw 200-230W each when you beat the crap out of them. Add some W for MB, memory, several HDU's, etc. and you will easily suck a 600W PSU dry.

Exactly Pat

When I built my new system, I settled for a 600Watt and that was a mistake *LOL*

Replaced it with this 1200Watt

this is a good one, plenty of power to spare, upgradable to a newer system, 3 x 6 pin 3 x 8 pin would let you run triple sli system for the future.

power supply

Go for quality not price. Your PW is one of the best investments you'll make.
Check reviews.

i run a 1000 kw in my setup i have now, and the are only 2 gpu's in my rig, if you go to a quad gpu, trust me 1200kw is not alot, until you get your power bill anyway lmao.
