Go for it! Just make sure you have what you need to keep it cool. It will get stupid hot! But I'm planning on doing that also! So go for it!

Question. I've only recently heard about "Bottlenecking CPUs" (Call me a noob). What does it mean? And will my CPU (i7 930) "bottleneck" with 2 GTX 480's in SLI?

Bottlenecking is where one component cant keep up and hampers the performance of others. So if you have 3 480's for example they are all going so fast that the CPU cant keep up and the difference between two and three cards isnt as much as it should be.

You dont really need to worry about it with 2 480's and a 930, It should be fine.
