The GTX 470 needs only two 6-pin PCIe PEG connectors, and power supply wise you are looking at a 550W PSU. You can see two SLI fingers that allow for a total of three cards to be setup in SLI.

Here you can see the cooling a tad better, heatpipe based leading to aluminum fins and then three low RPM fans to blow away the heat. Unfortunately a lot of residual heat will be dumped inside the chassis this way. Thus make sure you establish a proper airflow in your PC.
