Dude honestly my advice to you is stick with one card, stay away from SLi, tri sli and quad sli if there is any lol.

Wait, just wait till games are more stable in Sli. but thats just me speaking.

That mod is asking for trouble; PSUs should be as unexposed as possible. I guess it would be OK on the Antec 900 given that it points downwards towards the ground but otherwise, I can't imagine that a spilled drink will help.

The overall wattage doesn't matter too much, it's the amps on 12v rail (i think that's right? Correct me if it's not).

Bad PSU's don't provide enough power usually.

I'm pretty sure you're right.

Most PC's won't even use over 500 watts (mine doesn't for sure).

Yep, definitely with only a single video card and minimal devices as most people have.

Mine only uses around 400 while gaming.
