I am building my first gamming system and later down the road I want the capabilities to crossfire 2 6950 gpu's
Everyone seems to say for power supply go with Corsair,I have been shopping tiger direct and everytime I narrow my search parameters to crossfirex power supplies all the corsairs are deleted.Say's they are SLI compatable.I didn't know there was a difference with power supplies,also list say's only 8 pin pciex16 connectors,does anyone know if they are compatable with my 6 pin connectors on my 6950's?

Your PSU doesn't care who makes your GPUs. Just get one with enough power (700+W for 6950 CF).

Usually the 8 pin connectors are 6+2.

For a system running with two Radeon HD 6950 graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode a power supply with 700 Watts or greater with a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 46 Amps or greater and with at least four 6-pin PCI-E Supplementary Power Connectors is recommended.

The following Corsair PSUs will meet the power and PCI-E connectors requirement:

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 (CMPSU-750TXV2)
Corsair Professional Series HX650W (CMPSU-650HX)
Corsair Professional Series HX750W (CMPSU-750HX)
