i have an antec 500 watt power supply and it's SLI ready and comes with sata connectors.  check out antec.com

btw, SLI gpu is a big waste of money.

cuz SLI benchmarks show that they don't perform that much better than single graphic cards.  They are better, just not for the value of money that it involves.  If you want that extra 5 fps then i suggest getting SLI, but since you have a 7800 gt that's gonna be pretty expensive getting another one.

100%  ? wowzers that's a lot, sorry to say that's highly unlikely.  I'm not saying that it is impossible though, just extremely rare.

Sli will not be a 100% performance increase lol there are way to many system bottlenecks for that kind of power.
Title: Antec

You can try this web site.  Its an Antec 500 watt SLI powersupply.  They have others that are larger.  This one is $90.00. I have had good luck with this company.  It may be cheaper elsewhere.

SLI= 2 pci express slots.

Also, my computer originally came with a 450w XION power supply and it was fried the 3rd day I used it.  Then I bought my antec. Hope yours doesn't burn up.
