Friend has one Gtx 480 and would like to build a computer using it and adding another 480 in the future for sli. I'm not sure what components are good for the 480s. Budget is $600 but can go over if needed. There will be no overclocking done. Parts needed are a motherboard, cpu that won't bottleneck, ram, and powersupply.

Wow, thanks for replying fast!!! Will that power supply be enough to power the whole system? My main concern in the wattage of the 480s in sli. Thanks again
