Hi guys, looking for some opinions as I don't know much about what I need. First time ever I am building a PC. It will be used for gaming and I will be overclocking the CPU + maybe using 2 monitors.

Let me know if the power supply is enough :) 

thanks!

It will be enough, but I would rather get this one : http://www.ncix.ca/products/?affiliateid=7474144&sku=59.... Cheaper, more power, more reliable.

It has far more than enough. 53A on the one that I recommended you, compared to 50A on the one that you chose. If you're not going to SLI/Xfire or anything too special, you won't ever need any more than this.

Hmmm yea, I assume in about 2 years or so I might go SLI =s

I guess you mean Crossfire, as it's with an AMD card. But, I feel like if you wait for 2 years, there won't be any point on getting a second HD 7950, it will be a far better choice to just get a single new card.

550w is enough , but I would go with 650w to have a little headroom.

I would sincerely like this one, but it seems it will set out to be $100, they are charging like $11 for ground shipping. I am going to see if I can find something cheaper

Yea, but I was thinking what happens if i decide to crossfire? It says SLI ready, so would it be all good?
