Striker could you provide a link for the Antec for $69 as it is $74 on Newegg (I might buy it myself for $69) the Earthwatts would be a good upgrade over the Corsair or Silverstone as it is 80+ Bronze rated for power efficiency. Although both the Silverstone and Corsair are 80+ so they are no slouches either.

Both motherboards I recommended are capable of SLI and Crossfire. As to which one I would recommend the P67 based ASRock. And when your talking about 6pin that is the connection between the psu and graphics card. the 6950 and GTX560Ti require two 6pin connectors a piece so if you wanted to do SLi/Crossfire(CFX) you would need a 750w power supply with at least 4 6pin connectors.

two gtx 460's will still require 4 6pin connectors. You will not need a 750w for 560Ti Sli 600w will do the trick and 600w will be able to handle gtx 460 SLi. A 600w psu with 4 6pin connectors is the Silverstone Strider Essential 600w. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

A regular, cheapo $20 will get the job done. They are probably all made by liteon anyway. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
