My current system is fairly new in terms of component age except for my video card. I'm very interested in getting two Radeon 6850s for a Crossfire setup.

My main question is about power: will the components below (minus the GTX 260 of course) and the 2 x 6850s be too much for the 750W power supply I have listed below? Should I consider upgrading? Thanks!

Maxes out at around 400 watts AC when gaming, SLI 460's around 550 , nothing for you to worry about with your configuration.
