I'm thinking about purchasing an XFX AMD 7870 video card. My current set up is as follows:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R 2.0
RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600
CPU: AMD FX-4100 ocd (4.1GHz Turbo)
PSU: Corsair CX750W

I also have two hard drives, and two dvd/blu ray drives. But my question is, will I have enough power with all of these components to also run the 7870 video card? If not, is there a video card that would draw less power and have similar specs (2GB, 256bit) that I could purchase instead?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice, is there an easy way to find out if you're power supply will support everything you have running? Other than asking on Tom's Hardware of course?
