Any "connecors" you would need for SLI come with the motherboard, and as for power, some PCI-e cards require power from the PSU (probly all SLI capable cards) And the almost always come with an adapter that just plugs into a dongle coming off the PSU.

No, suggest you get double rails and higher amp on the 12V.
