Yeah corsairs new line is really nice. My next build is using the 620HX. It's also modular which is nice.

PC Power & Cooling is also a good PSU manufacturer.

SLI is when you run two video cards simultaneously. Your motherboard is set up for sli. It has two pci-e video card slots. It's not a problem running just one card on an SLI motherboard, but the P35 boards by asus gigabyte or Abit are nice as well and don't have sli.

If you want the ultimate for a video card right now it would be an 8800 Ultra. Can be had for around $620 on sale and after rebate. But really, an 8800GTX you could overclock and do just as well. But FYI it is rumoured the new line of nvidia cards should be coming out around November.
