1. its good, BUT its important to buy a good PSU at least 600w and up, good solid brand will do ya good. lol hey yall below stop copying my answer!
2. ya I don't see any problem with it but because it is sli mobo you need a bigger psu. at least 600watt. this is important because when you go to stick another card in it you will suck a lot more power. its a pain to install a new psu once the thing is put together. easier and cheaper to get this right at the outset. apart from that its a fine machine.
3. You have a pretty good set up for gaming. It can be spectacular if you could overclock your processor to around 3.0gHz level. It would be able to better unleash the power of the 8800GT.
