Good build with Gtx 480 @ SLI?

[BobTheWhiteBoy]

Friend has one Gtx 480 and would like to build a computer using it and adding another 480 in the future for sli. I'm not sure what components are good for the 480s. Budget is $600 but can go over if needed. There will be no overclocking done. Parts needed are a motherboard, cpu that won't bottleneck, ram, and powersupply.

Can you even buy 480s, those cards are ANCIENT lol

Wow, thanks for replying fast!!! Will that power supply be enough to power the whole system? My main concern in the wattage of the 480s in sli. Thanks again

you need 850-1000w quality psu. The antec I suggested should do it but if you can, spend a bit more and get the http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g11000vr but the antec hgc should be enough.
