Will this Power Supply be enough?

Hi all, still trying to pick some parts together for a new build, this is what I have so far:

will that PSU be powerful enough? I will be overclocking both CPU and GPU.

Thanks!

yes it is, this one is too

but benefits from having more pci-e connectors if you ever added a second 6870.

That seems almost more than enough for that system, even after crossfiring two 6870's.

If you are spending that much I would get this, slightly less power but better cabling supposedly: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-166-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

Nice to see the AMD X6 system still being considered after all the Sandy Bridge appearance.

EDIT: Ah sorry that one is out of stock, this one is quite good though but not sure if it will have enough PCIE cables for future crossfiring: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-CS&tool=5

That powersupply is fine for you, but there are many other powersupplies you could use that are better quality and provide better performance.

No it doesn't. I also wouldn't recommend it because it's efficiency is lower than some of it's high quality competitors.

The Antec Truepower New TPN-650 (80Plus Bronze Modular) is a good power supply, unfortunately it is more expensive on OCUK than elsewhere.
