The HX650 will do fine in the rig as is, wont support Crossfire though.

Corsair, Coolermaster, Fractal Design, NZXT and Silverstone all make good cases. Get one that looks the way you want it too look, has the features you want and at the price you can afford. In terms of cooling performance, any well designed case will perform identically.

if I want to crossfire, what should I look for in a psu? 700 watts? 750 watts? 850?

Enough PCI-E connectors to hook up your cards. Usually 750W units offer that and are what is recommended for dual cards, upping the PSU to the HX750 should be fine.

Morning 123! Maybe I can help here. Put your cursor on my avatar and you can see my rig's specs. It is similar to what you are building. I am using a Tripp Lite OmniVS1000 UPS, have been for years, and it is a 1000VA. The batteries do wear out over time, even if the UPS hasn't tripped very often due to power outages; Mine had to be replaced this year after about 4-5 years of constant use and being on 24/7. It does support my equipment. If you want a little more protection and maybe a little more run time after a power failure, consider this one;
