GPU power draw advice

I am currently deciding on what graphics card I should buy. It is currently between a 560 twin frozr, 570 twin frozr or a 6950 (twin frozr doesn't unlock). If the 6950 is cheap, quiet and has a good % of successful unlocks then that would be ideal. Noise is important though.

My PSU is a corsair TX750. Processor is 2500k to be clocked to 4.8ghz under a Noctua D-14. As I plan to to SLI in the near future, would this PSU rule out the nvidias? Considering that I would overclock them. I know the 6950s wouldn't be an issue, but the gtx's have a bigger power draw, especially when overclocked. I suspect 570's could be a problem. Also, would the 1gb of ram on the 560 matter too much?

Thanks, Rich.
