I reckon you should change the psu to a cheaper 750w psu to have an option of adding a second card in the future

Crossfire 6950's don't consume more then 650W even if you OC the CPU pass 4.9GHz...

 

[zhongyan]

Crossfire 6950's don't consume more then 650W even if you OC the CPU pass 4.9GHz...

Even if two 6950's don't consume over 650 watts, it would be working really close to its limits, so an extra 100 watts would be necessary.
And for a lower price, why not?

 

[cutebeans]

I have to agree with zhongyan. The Antec High Current gamer is a pretty good 750w.
