CURRENT TOTAL: $1,507.82

Is my current Power Supply sufficient or will I need to get a higher wattage if I plan to OC and/or run SLI/Crossfire? I'm also at a loss for monitors so if there any suggestions...

Components u selected r pretty much wat every one would have suggested, so gud job in that. if u r planning on adding another GPU then u have to get a 800-850w PSU. Lastly get urself a nice big quality mouse pad, makes hell lot of difference.
