the 750W is probly overkill for anything less than twin 580s/6980s.

Antec, Corsair, Sea Sonic, XFX are the brands I'd suggest, go 500-550W for a single card, 600-650 for crossfire/SLI.
For 1650x1080, you will do great with a HD 6850, 5850, GTX 460 768/1GB, or GTX 560/560 ti.

Thanks guys for all of your advice.

ssd- corsair force series 60gb/performance 3 series 40gb (or a little bit bigger which ever size fits your budget)
gpu- 6950 1gb/2gb (whichever is cheaper)
psu- corsair tx 650 or this one- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
mobo- since no sli or crossfire go with the asrock p67 pro3



What are your thoughts on the below.

PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/245671

GPU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190977 (I know it's not the best, but I am not looking for the best. Can you suggest anything with a similar price range which is better?)
