PSU is fine, 750w silverstone is more than enough.

That psu is fine even if you add another 9800GTX+

+1 to Fullmetall, way more than enough. Even a 500W PSU would be enough for that setup. No worries. With your PSU you can even upgrade to a GTX 285 later if you want.

True, but please don't add another 9800GTX+. Your motherboard can't use two of those cards.
