hi, I like to play video games but I am really bad when it comes to specs,
Basically, after asking a few people on another forum, I got a build I wanted to use but I am not sure if all the parts are "good" or last for a few years. So here is my gaming rig,

DVD- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

Monitor- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236102

Case- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233

Motherboard- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131754

Graphic Card x2- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161372

Ram- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144

CPU- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103894

Harddrive- http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/western-digital-western-digital-caviar-black-1tb-3-5-internal-hard-drive-wd1002faex-wd1002faex/10176440.aspx?path=ff1ba2db97d4e9b2206ee36819b9c

Power Supply(need help) -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049

Basically, can anyone rate my build? I'm hoping to play crisis or any other new games for probably 5+ years, with very minimum upgrading.
Also I think my power supply is severly lacking, according to newegg.com wattage calculator(not sure how accurate) this build uses about 900-1000 watts.

I guess, but the phenom II x4 can also be overclocked, atm im not to focused on the cpu right now but mostly if the overall watt usage seems high, also I'm not to sure if the monitor is good either >_<

ahh my bad, by my watt consumption, i mean im not sure if I used the right powersource, I think I need a 900 or 1200, I tried newegg's calculator which says about 800-860, does that mean i should get a higher power supply then 900?

With this much gpu power you'd probably need to go to sandy bridge. 2400 or 2500k. Both will do fine for gaming, 2500k overclocks so it good to add an aftermarket cooler. asrock extreme 3 gen3 is a good companion to them.
Your PSU will be marginally inadequate. Go to 850watts

A few things from previous post, I'm having trouble seeing if all of these will fit into the case.
Also I've read some mix reviews on this brand of 6950, not sure weither are not to take this.(i see complaints about it not being a referenced item, as well as trouble with overclocking)
finally, how is my build overall? any comments/recommendations i should replace something with?
