Need help with an Upgrade.

In which case I recommend getting a HD6950 and a new good quality crossfire proof power supply now then upgrade your motherboard if and when you need to add a second graphics card.

But I think you will be perfectly happy with the improvement of adding a single 6950 to be thinking about adding a second one for a long time :).
 
yes that'll do just fine, if you can live without modular you could go xfx pro core edition 750w £85, ocz zs 750w £73, but for £15-£20 I'd pay the extra :)
well there also the antec 750w modular £86 but its out of stock.

Yeh, I've been advised on here before about Modular. Think I'm going to stick with the power supply in my previous post.

the cooler on the asus is triple slot which will be an issue with airflow in xfire, not sure about the 2nd one

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-036-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752 cheaper and doesn't have the issue.

^^^ Unless the lack of free games is a issue then I would go for this. Comes with a nice factory overclock over the other cards linked :)

Edit: Although on second thoughts that HIS iceQ PLUS with 3 free games looks like quite a nice deal. Either of these cards would be fine. Not the Asus though for the reason fowler002 has mentioned.
