SLI certified shouldn't be a factor, there are many non certified power supplies that will power your system with either 1 or 2 cards.
A good quality 550w or 650w from the Corsair TX series would do for a single 9800GTX, for SLI I'd look at 750 watts from the same line or others such as the PCP&C Silencer.
If you are planning on using the psu for a while and upgrading to more powerful cards an 850 watt unit would be better suited.

Corsair has a well deserved reputation for high quality power supplies. They consistently earn high marks in technical reviews and comparisons. The units are very stable and reliable. It is one of three or four brands that are aften recommended by veteran posters at this forum.
