So that i dont waste it im going to go buy a 1000 to 1200 Watt PSU so i can run them in SLI but i have a question. I have never run anything in SLI or Crossfire but i was curious if the card or with the computer im getting comes with an SLI Bridge? if not where would i purchase one?

Best solution

SLi bridges have traditionally been part of the motherboard package and as such should be in with the gumph and paperwork that comes with your pre-build, if it does not contact the builder and shout at them.

SO are you saying that i dont have to buy another PSU? my 800 Watt can run them in SLI just fine? im not going to overclock them or anything just play Dawn of War 2 and Champions online with it. and i have a 30 inch screen aswell that i got from newegg.

You probably don't need to buy a new PSU. From zooming into the pics, the psu has 50A on it's 12v rail, which should be enough to run quad SLi.

That said, its going to be cutting it close, if you can afford it you should get a 1kw psu
