The Enermax 600 watt Noisetaker PSU is also SLI approved by Nvidia and costs less than the PC Power and Cooling 510. Don't let the wattage ratings fool you because there are no standards for rating wattage. Some PSU manufacturers are less than honest in how they rate their product. There is at least one PSU manufacturer out there which claims their 680 watt PSU is SLI capable but is not. Enermax is a very reputable manufacturer. PC Power and Cooling and Enermax are honest with their wattage ratings. The Silverstone PSU is also SLI approved but its rails are paralleled with each other sharing a common source which is not as good.
