Will this motherboard work with this video card?

I'm just curious because the video card says it's SLI ready, and the motherboard doesn't say anything about that.

Motherboard:

Video card:

I'm not very knowledgeable about this, but doesn't SLI just mean that it can support two video cards or something like that, if so, then what video card can you guys recommend of the same price and same specs as the one above? Also, what's a good nVidia GeForce manufacturer?

My current build:

[Processor]

Intel Core i5-650 Clarkdale 3.2GHz 4MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core

[Motherboard]

ASUS P7P55D-E LX Intel P55 1156 Motherboard

[Hard Drive]

Thanks, makes shopping much easier. Between these three, which is best?

Thanks, but the computer I'm building is meant to last a long time. Won't overclocking just make it worse, even though I generally live in an area where it's 60's to early 70's.

Edit: By the way, which of the three do you think is the best RAM for me?

The specs seems the same, except the one with "9-9-9-24-2N" which I don't know what it means, but besides that, it's the same it seems. I might go for the Ripjaws one because it has a lot more reviews, meaning more opinions, but the Patriot also looks good, especially when it claims to be for gaming, and finally the Value because it's $5 cheaper.

Edit: Never mind about my question. New one:

What's a good Antec power supply for my current setup? I use the computer extremely often for a long time. I'm not sure how much wattage I should get, I was thinking 400's-500's.

It should work....thats kind of expensive for a video card though unless you are going to be doing a lot of heavy gaming.
 
Hmm... Is it? Well I do want this computer to last long, meaning I can play at least some of the brand new games on the lowest settings. Can you recommend a cheaper video card then?
 
The Antec 300 pretty much sucks at cable management.

I alway go alittle over on a power supply, you dont want to have to upgrade the supply every upgrade you do. You could get by with a good quality 500W. But I would gwt a 650W for later upgrades, especially if you go with a better video card later. Antec/Silverstone/XFX/seasonic/PC P&C/Corsair
