I am building my first PC. As of yet, I have:
Antec 900 Case:

Corsair 650W Power Supply:

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core:

XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler (not going with the stock cooler):

Still deciding on RAM, Motherboard, Hard Drive and Video Card, which will be bought early next week.
I am liking the ATI Radeon 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 card and am wondering if two of these can be used with the Corsair 650TX 650W PSU... this building is new to me and want to make sure it can support two cards... I see there is only 2 x 6+2Pin and one card will need both 6pin? Is there an adapter or alternate way of connecting two video cards to this PSU?
It will likely have two hard drives (750GB Maxtors a friend is giving me, not sure of model yet) and two optical drives.
I'm hoping I don't need to upgrade the PSU to the 750W version.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
