Hey all, I ran into a bag of money and now feel the need to blow it on a nice pc. the mains will be a EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 2x TOXIC R9 270X 2GB running CrossFire and a AMD FX9590, will it run with the psu listed or will i have to get a 1000watt??

If you are going to run that setup you need a 1000watts PSU, the 750w might be enough but it is not good to run a PSU at 80-90% of its capacity. Make sure you get a solid motherboard too, not all motherboards will handle that 200watts cpu.
You should consider getting an Intel CPU instead, it will be way more efficient.
