| Enermax is the way to go for a PSU, you don't need an SLI PSU to run and SLI motherboard, but if you plan on having 2 cards than yes you do need an SLI PSU/Motherboard Could you list all of your parts so we can figure out what wattage PSU you require

| I'm confused. ATX is the standard by which all computer power supply's are built (size, voltage +/- etc). When referring to "atx" what exactly do you mean by it's your only option?

| I tell everyone to go Enermax. I'd highly recommend a 600w supply for the build you've quoted. You'd get away with a stable, efficient 500w supply but why mess with your build. Enermax Liberty 600w is the model for you.
