nice...I`d go for evga...What PSU did you meant to take?

 

[silentm]

i have 1000w sli rated psu
i noticed the evga is pcie x16 not 2.0 is this really any difference?

They are PCI-E 2.0, don't worry. Besides, it doesn't matter with 8800GTS cards.

I've got a silly question: what does FTW stand for? I figured out BFG (big something guns), but FTW beats me.

 

[silentm]

"FTW" (For The Win)
The 8800gts 512 (G92) is pcie 2.0
