Is this PSU powerfull enough?

Would the PSU below be powerfull enough for this build?
a lot of the parts i allready have just decided to put them in the image instead of manually typing them.

Think this is everything

Will be fine, I'm running a 4870x2 and I7 setup @ 4ghz, 2 drives and this pulls 520w at full load.

also how would a 4770 card run on that monitor? mainly being used for games

With all the settings on high at native res I would say it would struggle, if your after something a bit cheaper look at the 4870 range, but the gpu you have chosen in my personnal opinion is a good choice

What about x2 4770 with that psu & monitor, you think it would be ok? Judging by this review http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-4770-crossfire,2288.html its better than the 4890 (allready have 1 4770) just worried about the power usage and if it will run ok on 1920x1080 res

If you already have one 4770, another one is the way to go. Seriously, those things are beasts in crossfire. It will struggle jus a little bit on very demanding games at that resolution, but mostly it will offer up very good performance.

4770s are bloody difficult to get hold of.

When you say it will struggle slightly, is that with games on full settings etc? I guess they are difficult to get hold of cause there popular?

Yeh, on full settings, it will struggle because at higher resolutions you need more memory in your GPU and if I remember, 4770s were jus 512k right?

And yeh, one is the popularity (it hits a brilliant price

erformance ratio), it runs very cool because of its 45nm (I think) manufacturing process, but ATI were (dunno if they still are) havin problems with their 45nm yields so not that many of the cards out there.
