Total overkill on the PSU the system would run fine on 550-650 watt PSU (I would suggest Corsair, Antec, Seasonic or XFX). With the quality of integrated sound today there is no need for a sound card.

Thanks for the reply and advice!

New question is it worth it if I get the Radeon 5870 instead of the crossfire 5770s?

Similar performance more money! It would leave you with a open slot for upgrade later. I personally would select a single card solution over dual card solution.
