i bought it from my local micro center.
but just to make sure, i need at least 48 amps?
think this is good enough?

or this
Antec BP550 Plus 550W ATX12V V2.2 Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, TUV, CB, FCC, CCC, C-TICK - Retail

which one would you guys choose?
unless theres one thats a good quality (trusted company) PSU thats cheaper.

The power supply you have will be just fine. You don't need 48A. Your OCZ 500W PSU supplies a total of 36A across it's dual 12V rails.
I was running a SLI setup with my Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W power supply without any problems at all.

really?
i was seeing some PSU, and i dont see any that as 450W where each was 24 amps, so i thought that was a bit fishy

Yea, it can get a bit confusing at times.
So to set this straight, your OCZ supplies 500W with a total of 36A across it's dual 12V rails. An 8800GT SLI setup requires at the minimum a 450W power supply with 24A on the 12V rail. Your PSU exceeds that by 50W and 12A, it doesn't sound like much, but it's plenty.

Save your money. There's no need to get another eVGA card. As long as they have the same specs, they will run perfectly fine together in SLI.
