Time for Fuzz to buy a new computer! Because I'm tired of running a Radeon 9200SE with naught but a gigabyte of ram, a 2.26 ghz processor, and no space left on my hard drive.

I think the above and below will be SLI'd. If I select two cards on Cyberpower Inc does it SLI them? Pbbbth, I'm new to this.

Some questions + things to know:
1) I don't play any high end games, really. Just some MMOs, Black & White 2, eventually Spore, perhaps some other stuff.
2) I do lots of 3D work, rendering and stuff, will this greatly increase my render speeds?
3) Am I getting ripped off?
4) Is this complete overkill?
5) My current setup is (basically) 2.26 processor, Radeon 9200SE (Laugh if you like, it's done surprisingly well for me), and a gig of ram. This is definately better, but by how much?
6) For my graphics card, I have the choice between those two cards listed above, SLI'd, or one NVIDIA Geforce 7950 GX2 1GB 16X PCI Express Video Card.
Which option is better?
7) Is Cyberpower trustworthy?
