Microcenter, Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon.. Plenty of places  look at the reviews and see what people who owned it are saying.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

A molex plug, some cables, a soldering iron and shrinking tubes.

Forget about that, you only need a molex plug, which is likely to be hanging around the mess of cable management most of us have... This kit that I shared doesn't need anything, route the cables, easy with included straps, mount the little receiver wherever you'll like and that's it.
