It's easy to tell mate, simply look up your manual or find the specifications on the Gigabyte website. :)

You should have received everything you need with the motherboard, in my experience. If you don't have it, make sure to contact the retailer when you are buying it and tell them you will be running it in SLI and does it come with everything you need?

Don't know for your board but with my Gigabyte X58 UD5 I got SLI bridge.To have two gtx 295 cards you need SLI Bridge if you don't have it you should check in your manual as Troy said.Btw SLI bridge is around $10!

Again, have you looked in the manual? All you need to know will be in there. If not, try looking on the manufacturer's website, there may be an updated manual available for download which helps.
