Would that psu be enough for a x2 7970 crossfire?
Off-topic: i will later have to check in this pc at the airplane , I will put all the parts back in their respective boxes , put some anti friction plastic. And bubble plastic on the oustide. And a big ass lock . Have any one of you did this before? How was it?

Pardon me for typos and stupid language mistakes :)

Looks good to me. The PSU will not power 2 7970's you'll want atleast an 800w unit for that. It maybe more expensive, but what i have done in similar situations in the past is put the individual components in there original box(except the cpu i left it in the board with the cooler removed), put it all in a bigger box or two with packing material, and use UPS to ship them to where I was going(insured of course).

Thank you for the quick answer
About the gpu do you know if the 7970 i chose is a good one? Is there one that deliver the better cooling/performance with a price in the proximities ? Or one that perform the same for less ? . My last Saphire vapor-x was so great i was thinking getting another one , but it looks overpriced
Oh, and i just looked up the ups site, it normally would be a good option but it seems that a delivery to Brazil would cost "just" 547 dollars, plus insurance. So the ups isnt much of a option :( .
Also what type packaging did you use?
