Get this, cant cram more awesome into 750

You're going to tell me to get out of here when you don't even account for your $50 in MIR, that puts you above $800. The PSU is also going to struggle to output consistent wattage with the strain of the System @ load being such high wattage. I give the Total system at least 330w when on load. That's pretty close to the PSUs limit.

We easily see that with the wattage the CX430 is going to be pushing it's going to get pretty hot. JG notes some negative side effects as such. Generally it is shortened life span and well, I'm hoping that the restarting he states doesn't occur as well. Also at least keep an eye for a PSU that has enough connectors for the GPUs you recommend. Talking about being ignorant.
