This is first effort, but you havent stated their current PCI-E gfx card, however this PSU should suffice anyway, or their intended use, but for that budget this is best all round really

its a crossfire motherboard for a single card setup? even a 5970 is technically a single card.

and the cpu is a dual core.

PSU, i have seen only one review of it, and its got some issues(voltage levels and ripples)
