This is my first build, and I'm making it into a gaming rig. I'd like to be able to play bf3 at 1920x1080 on ultra quality and an assortment of other, less intensive games. Here's my parts list, and suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated! (I plan on adding an ssd later on)
Also, will this list support crossfire later on with double hd 7950s?
And, will it overclock easily?

Solution
rock solid build, for OCing, spend more budget on high quality psu instead of green version
SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze
Corsair TX750 V2
XFX P1-550S-XXB9

those options will be better

oh forget to mention, PSU for CrossfireX is listed below\
Corsair TX750 V2 -- cheapest
Corsair AX850 -- on sale

Should I spend the extra ~70$ or so for the extra vapour x cooling on the GPu?
And I'll definitely upgrade the psu then, only compatibility concern is whether it has the right connector for the mobo right?

The 3l is better than the 2l maxinexus?
