This is the bundle I ordered: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4621095&CatId=2405

I'm not sure whether or not I can SLI with this mobo, but if I can't, where can I get a new mobo (socket 775) that can SLI?
Do I need a certain motherboard that is compatible with other components? Or does it only need to be compatible with my CPU and GPU?
If I were to get a new mobo and two more 8800GT's, and I tri-SLI'd them, would I need to upgrade my PSU or buy a GPU fan?

Also, take a look at the tower (dimensions: Depth 21.10", Width 8.29", Height, 20.94").
Can this fit all graphics cards? I'm worried that if I upgrade my GPU to GTX 295 that it may not fit.

Specs...
Case: NZXT Zero 2 Craft Series Full Tower Case
PSU: 650-W ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is this a good enough PSU?
MoBo: Intel DG35EC
CPU: Intel C2D E7400 @ 2.8 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ is this CPU all right with its stock fan?
HDD: Seagate 500GB
RAM: OCZ SLI 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 ^^^^^^^ I can't run more than 4gigs of RAM on Vista x32, right?

Judging by my current specs, can I run Crysis @ 1680x1050 on ultra high settings?
Do I really need AA and AF?
I think 1680x1050 would look good no matter what.
Should I get an extra 8800GT to max out?

No you can not SLI with that MB. If you need to know where to get one that can, you might want to do some reading on SLI. Any comptuer store woudl carry them.

How well you can play crysis would entirely depend on the GPU you end up getting. A single 8800Gt would have a lot of troubles with it.

AA and AF are entirely up to you... It makes the games much more demanding, most people think it looks better..
