    I don't think you have enough for sli. You can tell when the frame rates drop. evga recommends 450 Watt for a SINGLE card. Plus the review above doesn't sound good. BTW, overclocking requires more power than stock.

    Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply.
    (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amp Amps.)

    High-End SLI PC Configuration:
    Dual GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB or Dual GeForce 6800 Ultra
    AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 2.8 GHz or Intel Pentium EE 840 3.2 GHz
    NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 motherboard with 2GB system memory
    Two HDDs in Raid 0 configuration
    Two optical drives
    PCI sound card
    LCD at 1600x1200 resolution

    High-End SLI PC*:
    Minimum of 500-600W Power Supply with a minimum of +12V @ 30A for all PC components.
