Area-51 R5, PSU and SLI Upgrade options/requirements

Hi all,

I have an Area-51 R5 on the way that I will be looking to upgrade a bit. I want to upgrade the PSU from the 850 to the 1500 and I may possibly add a 2nd GPU. So here are my questions:

1st: I am looking at just going with the OEM 800GY 1500w PSU from Dell. I noticed the sellers on Ebay are only selling the PSU, no cables or anything else. I know I can slide the 850 out and slide the 1500 in it's place but will I need a different power cord or any other cords for it or will the power cord for the 850 work fine with the 1500?

2nd: I may add a 2nd GPU. If I buy the PSU only like it is currently being sold on Ebay, I assume I will need additional cables for hooking up the 2nd GPU. What cables will I need? Also, is there anything else I will need, SLI bridge or anything like that?

3rd: Where can I find out which 2080 Ti's would be compatible with the Dell OEM 2080 Ti that comes with my system

This will be my 1st Gaming desktop as I have previously owned 3 Alienware 18 laptops so all the upgrading and tinkering I will be doing is new to me. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks everyone.
