Neither one of those power supplies will be very decent. And your current PSU won't power your SLI setup you're wanting very well either. You need to look into a quality 650-750w PSU instead.
Question about this 1010w PSU
My current psu = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341012
I thought of running 2x 8800 gt's in sli in the future, but also though of getting another video card. My problem is, if that video card required an 8-pin pci-e connector from the psu, and if my psu did not have it, could I use a converter like this one...

?
Now my other question is, which PSU do you think would be better for me performance wise?
OCZ Rercert @ $65.20 after shipping @ http://www.svc.com/ocz1010gxssli-b.html
*or*
Rosewill @ $99.99 free ship @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Tpk=17-182-188
Many thanks for the help, and happy Thanksgiving!

Because it is not a 1010W PSU, as seen here. The FSP Epsilon platform cannot be pushed that far without serious issues. I don't have any reviews on that particular Rosewill, but it will be nearly identical to this. For $100 it really isn't a bad deal, but it's not a great PSU.
But either of those PSUs would easily run 8800gt SLI. A decent 550W could as well. If you wanted to get something more futureproof, I would look into the Corsair tx750 or the Antec TP-750. When on sale those can be found for ~$100 and would probably be the best choice. In fact, the TP-750 Blue can be had for $80 shipped after a $30 MIR.
