I wouldn't use a Rosewill power supply with those parts, I'd use something better. Check this thread for more info.

Rosewill doesn't make their own power supplies (or much of anything else). They just rebrand. Some of it's ok, and some is junk. As Cricket said, why risk it?

The Rosewill PSU is definitely not SLI-certified. It's only SLI-ready. Untested by Nvidia. No such thing as a quality $60 550 watt PSU.

I would swap that motherboard out for a Asus P5N32-E Sli.

Much better PSU, but the SLI certification is still pending.
