Yeah I noticed that 8-pin connector and was doing some reading up on it I am currently using a 1100x power supply from ThermoMax and woot it already has a connector for the 8-pin motherboards. I was also planning on using Vista 64-bit with 8gig of RAM with 2 nVidia 8800 GTXs, but I also noticed that Evga just released the nVidia 790i boards too, I am deployed to Iraq right now so money isn't a issue on buying parts. But thanks for all your comments and suggestions keep them coming if you have anymore thoughts.

hmm Can i recommend something. Since you are getting a 780i and you are looking to spend a huge amount on dual gtx's look at this and rethink the idea of your dual GTX's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130338

In essence youd already have SLI with that one card. But only use one PCI port. That thing is a monster, and later on down the road you can get a second and you will be QUAD sli, which the 780i supports.

this card is 50% faster than the 8800 ultra so this thing is right on the tails of two gtxs in SLI. It has much more memory and stream processors and the memory bandwith is monstrous. This thing will blow your pants off and make make you a sandwich at the same time, you SLI two of these and itll make Crysis on full settings max resolution be like you're running notepad on xp.

The current world record for scores in 3Dmark06 was with two 8800ultras in SLI, both overclocked. The score was around 32000. The current highest score with only ONE of these cards is 29,000. 3k less than a machine with sli. http://service.futuremark.com/result...eResultType=14

So id get one now and if or when you can afford it and the drivers are ready, go get a second for quad SLI. But hey thats just me lol.

Back on topic, two 8800gtxs is plenty to 5 box or more. And they are reliable cards.

DAMN that card is sweet, an don the 2x 8800 GTX I wasn't going to go SLI because that wouldn't let me use more than 1 monitor, with this card would I be able to use more than 1 monitor if I went SLI.

hmm no, but each card is technically two cards built into one, so when it says the core clock is only 600mhz its actually at 1200, cause the two cards work together sorta SLI but without the restrictions.
