I am upgrading my mobo to an sLi one with pci-Express. Its either going to be this eVGA mobo:

or this MSI board:

and I'm going ot buy 1 6800XT to start out then get another later.
this is the card.

Right now i have enough to get a mobo and a strong psu to run it. I notice that some PSU's don't have that sLi symbol next to them, but under newegg it says they are still sLi ready. Can someone recomend me a good PSU for cheap that will run my 2 6800XT's and my Athlon 64 3000+?


One more question. How does a PSU be sLi ready? Does it have two cords for pci-E? Because there is this good 600W CoolerMaster PSU on sale at my computer store for $39.99. This is it:

Is it sLi compatible?

thanx
 
almost all psus nowadays are SLI ready, but i wouldnt suggest buying a cheap PSU, especially if ur gonna SLI, which i would again be against. the psu you should get is the Antec SmartPower, and the motherboard is also not a great choice, go with the DFI Lanparty UT Sli-D.
 
If you want a true SLi compatilble, i would go check out nvidia's website. They have the whole list of SLI compatible PSU's.
