Would a pair of these cards fit in a NZXT Gamma?
I'd OC the first card, but run them both in stock clocks for crossfire when I get the second, how much power would i need? A decent 700W PSU enough (no CPU (X4 955) overclocking)?
 
5850 will fit anywhere. Aslong as you have atleast 6 expansion slots. ( 1 card needs 2 so 2 will need 4 but there will be 1 or 2 spaces appart so 6 will be the absolute minimum )

you can run the crossfire on a good 400watt supply. But to be safe go 500 or 600. 700 is overkill. Some people say 500 will be but atleast you have some breathing room for upgrades ( more HDs,monitors,big cpu etc)

*make sure the power supply you get has 4 6pin connectors. 1 for each card. And your motherboard supports crossfire ofc.
