PSU and RAM work?

[a sandwhich]

Starting my first full atx i7 build, and I am unsure on some of the parts. They all seem to line up fine, but I am just hesitant before I buy. Here are the parts:
Case: Thor V2
Graphics: HIS IceQ X Turbo H695QNT2G2M Radeon HD 6950 2GB
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600k
Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-90G

I hope to eventually add in another 6950 2GB, and there will be a dlink extreme n wireless card along with two other harddrives, both wd black 1 TB. Will the psu be able to handle all of this?

What will you be using this rig for? Gaming? Video Editing? Both?

If for either video editing or both, keep the i7 and the RAM. Otherwise, if only for gaming, downgrade to i5-2500k and 8 GB of RAM. 750W works just fine.

I will be using this for gaming, cad, cs5, rendering, and programming. Lot of things, so I need a relatively well rounded. So this 750 will handle two 6950s?

 

[azeem40]

Yes, it will. 750W is minimum, but 850W is recommended. In that case, your build is fine.

Is it not best to stay above the minimum? Or is my build just minimal enough to the point where i will be able to stay under?

 

[azeem40]

850W is recommend, so yes, it is best to stay above the minimum wattage.

If I choose this one, would I be making a good choice? or would I be sacrificing quality for a lower price higher wattage. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-139-022&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo
It doesn't list it as crossfire or sli certified, should this be a concern?

 

[azeem40]

No concern. I have a similar PSU and it's not sli certified.

So all of these parts work together fine? Thanks.

If it's being used for CS% / video editing I'd get a CUDA capable card. The closest tot he 6950 in price is the 560 Ti ....

In gaming, in single card configuration, it's perty much a tie with that card garnering 495 fps in Guru3D's game test suite to the factory OC'd 6950's 484 fps. A 750 watter is fine if you are not going to OC any furtehr but if you are gonna try and reach these heights, I'd use an 850 watter.

The XFX Core Edition gets the same 9.5 performance rating from jonnyguru as the TX series....but it's only $90 after MIR
