OCZ GameXstream & AMD HD6950

[Xtrastor]

Hi, I would like to ask you if my PSU (model: OCZ GameXstream 700W) can manage the next setup:

Processor: Intel i7 960 @ 3.20Ghz
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-Premium
Graphics: Asus 6950 2GB
RAM: 3x 2GB DDR3
HDD1: 2x WD Caviar Black 1TB
HDD2: 2x WD Caviar Green 2TB
1 DVD burner & 1 Blu-ray burner
Case: Corsair C600T White with 4 fans

If someone has a similar setup or if you just have the knowledge, please tell me if its possible for me to have those 4 HDDs and the HD6950 with this PSU, or should I upgrade it at least to a 850W?...

Thanks

That would be plenty. No need for upgrades.

You're good unless you want to Crossfire you're gpu with another 6950...then get the upgrade.

zero_ | question about your $2000 recommended build...you can grab a gtx590 for about the same price as the 2 570s...what would you recommend?

Performance wise they are identical. But the cheapest GTX590 I could find is around $100 more than the cheapest 2x GTX570's ($729 vs 2x $315), hence the recommendation. 2x HD6950's would be a better deal for similar performance if not for the 3D vision requirement.
