Why do you 16gb ram? I would just get 8gb - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
(if you want to OC i want get a CL7 or 8 though)

Also i would step up to the AMD HD6950 if you want to run BF3 in max settings its also got 2gb VRAM (which i think will be useful considering the frostbite 2 engine) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

If your thinking of Crossfire in the future i would bump up to larger PSU, if not i would recommend the corsair HX650 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I thought may as well get 16GB of RAM since its in my budget, and Im going to keep the graphics card that I'm getting, because the 950 is a bit too high in price for me. When I get Battlefield 3 for PC (probably in January or February) Ill more or less likely upgrade to an even stronger graphics card.

Can I install 2 graphics card on this build? And if so, do I have to upgrade my PSU (for example I get what _Pez_ recommended me as a 2nd card)

It is not recommended to run 2 cards on a motherboard with PCIe slots running at x16 and x4 like your selected board. You want a board that runs at X8 X8 in dual card mode but at a higher cost.
