A good 750W PSU is surely enough to handle a couple of 6870's and an overclocked Phenom II.. And the Antec EA 750 is surely a good PSU..

P.S. - The PSU link you have provided takes us to a page listing a whole lot of other PSU's.. Fix it..

well i took the test and the score was 499 watts... that sounds way underpowered to me. I just wanna make sure I got it right. there was also a test I took at newegg and it says I need at least 700 watts. Which one is right?

One more thing, that particular motherboard is not suitable for a crossfire build.. It states X4 on the secondary pci express slot.. Get something with X8 atleast.. This will be a good alternative -

It does not feature any onboard video though (if in case you need)..

Newegg results are always inaccurate and overrated.. Don't trust them.. The one linked by Blakmu is good..

Yes its cheaper now.. Was hanging around 100$ previously.. It is a good motherboard though.. And you can trust Asrock completely with their quality.. They make decent stuff..
