Then I highly suggest a strong dual +12V offering by a well known brand like this one...
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...104-934&depa=1
Item no# N82E16817104934
You can save a few dollars and get something better looking, and much better for that type of setup having the dual +12V rails...
----------------------
Sidenote... for anyone NOT knowing what an SLI setup refers to...
http://www.tweaktown.com/document.ph...rticle&dId=740
dual PCI-Express video cards... huge power hogs...
500 watt or better PSU recommendations

I would look for something made by the major brands I listed as good, and I think the dual +12V rails would be optimal for a system like that...
If money isnt the main concern there are some nice modular designs out now

not sure if this link helps... you may need to do some research on your particular model to see what is needed... may be as simple as swapping wires or having to use an adapter...

PCPowerandCooling also sells replacement Dell PSU's here...

You mean you are building a new machine... your not talking about the Dell upgrade right?
You want to build something comparable to an Alienware machine?
