You should change the PSU to a AX750 instead. It has pretty high reviews on JonnyGuru as compared to the CX version. A good PSU is a good insurance to your PC.

no SLI is not worth it, you end up spedning alot for little performance gain. use that extra budget for other stuff or a better single graphic card.

post your max budget and the guys here will hook you up real good.

SLI is worth it, IMO. Just...not as a first choice.

You should always go for the strongest single card you can afford, and eventually SLI down the road if budget dictates your choice.

I'd go for anoori9000's build, albeit I'd get either Corsair Vengeance LP or G.Skill Ares RAM sticks. Not a matter of quality, mind you, as Ripjaws are pretty much nice, but I'd rather play it safe with the bulky heatsink :p
