I would really get the OCZ Powerstream 520w. If your going with an SLI rig you should be able to afford a $130 PSU.

PC Power & Cooling: Turbo Cool 510 SLI $229:

The newest OCZ's are SLI ready without adaptors, the older ones require adaptors,
ask before you buy and if you need then, I'm sure that OCZ will give them to you.

ENERMAX Noisetaker 600W EG701AX-VE SFMA 2.0 SLI: $151:

Enermax 535W Whisper II EG565P-VE FMA V2.0 - SLI Ready:$87:
http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=PS-ENERMAX-535

My Choices:

(1) The PC P&C 510 SLI: $229

(2) The ENERMAX Noisetaker 600W EG701AX-VE SFMA 2.0 SLI: $151:

(3) The OCZ PowerStream 520W: $125

The Enermax EG565P-VE FMA V2.0 @ $87 is the cheapest PS,
I can recommend for SLI & is NOT in the the same class as the PC P&C's or OCZ's.

If you can afford SLI video cards, you need to afford at least the OCZ PowerStream 520W!

I have the 535W enermax mentioned above. It has the SLI compatible logo on the box and two PCIe power connectors.
