Your build that you posted will be able to handle it quite well! However, I need to know your PSU specs. You need at least a 1000w PSU. Also keep in mind those cards run very hot, I have one myself and it can get up to 60 C under load unless it is the Sapphire Vapor X edition. Other than that, as long as you have reliable brand for a 1000w+ PSU you are good to go sir. Recommended is 750w for a single card.
