First off i want to link the exact models im looking at, because the 9800 GT i picked is super overclocked. not sure if that will change anything but want to be certain.

For now i play mostly older games that dont even take advantage of sli, so im thinking i should get the gtx 260 for now, and upgrade later if needed. However i want to be sure that either way i go, i dont have problems with my fps lagging or being to low. i have two 8600 GTs in sli and they blow so bad, atleast for older games, and World of warcraft i get fps lag. it runs cod4 fine but cod4 takes advantage of sli. just one 9800 GT superclocked SHOULD run wow and my older games without any lag.
one last thing if its not to much. whatever route i chose to go, is my power supply going to support 1 gtx 260 or 2 9800 gts?

im having trouble reading it, does +12V1@18A,+12V2@18A mean my +12 volt rating is only 18 amps? if so i need one that does 36 amps to do 1 gtx 260 or 28 amps to do 2 9800 Gts.
sorry for the long post, i just want to be certain before making another bad choice like my 8600 GTs that now i have no use for, cant return, will probably be hard to sell, even if cheap.
