More about : build
According to newegg's PSU Calculator, your build comes in at just over 800W.
So no, that PSU won't power it all. 1 6950 might be doable with your PSU...

I think 2 6950s would run on 750W. That one will handle one just fine, but yes, you'll need more for Xfire.
You might as well get 8gb RAM. It's only about $25 more.
That mobo's a little expensive, but whatever you want. You can get a plenty decent one for $140 after MIR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
