Hey guys, I am going to be adding another 970 to my PC, but wanted to know what type of SLI Bridge I would need. I am decent with this computer stuff, I just went Titan in my other computer when I upgraded so I don't know much about SLI.

I am going 2-Way SLI on this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130849&cm_re=MSI_970A_Krait-_-13-130-849-_-Product

I notice they say all sorts of thins like 2 Way/3 Way and things like long and short. Do I need a long bride or a short one? (Getting a bridge from EVGA)

Do you know what motherboard you are getting? If so, then you can go to the manufacturers site and it will show you the accessories (SATA cables, SLI bridges, stickers, manual, IO shield, etc) that it comes with.

Typically any motherboard will come with an SLI bridge if it supports SLI. The length of the SLI bridge is usually determined by the PCI-E X 16 slot spacing. They are typically flexible (unless you got one of the fancy rigid ones) and will bend to accommodate shorter distances between cards.
