i planning on upgrading soon and i just wanted to get some feedback on my choices

i7 920
Asus p6t mobo
Gskill 6 gb ddr3 1600
BFG gtx280
OCZ 700W power supply
cooler master centurion 5 case

i plan on scavenging my drive out of my current pc (WD caviar Blue 500gb, and samsung 18x DVD-DL burner)

now one specific question i have:

1. a) is the power supply ample
b) what if in the future i wanted to add another video card?




 
The power supply is fine for one GTX280, if you're going to SLI 2 of them you'd be pushing your power supply to about 80%-90% of it's rating. For SLI i'd get a more power PSU.

1 GTX 280 178w at load OCed it's about 193w, 2 in SLI are about 345w (just the cards)
