Hi guys, I'm planning on building a new rig. This is what i've come up with so far
Just need a double check on these compatibility-wise and if the PSU will handle the SLI setup.

Still deciding on the MOtheboards - Any suggestions ?
Apreciate any comments/suggestions
please remember that my original budget was around $1.1k and I'm already past that :-(
Also one more question :
in the specs of these boards under the PCI x16 2.0 slots it states :
1 x PCI Express x16 slot
1 x PCI Express x8 slot
(The PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX8_ slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
or
1 x mazarine PCI Express x16 slot with x16 operation
1 x light-blue PCI Express x16 slot with x8 operation
Is this normal for the SLI setup ?
