Opinions on upgrade.

Hey,

I have the setup in my sig and was wondering if anyone saw any problems with adding another 6950 and AX850 watt PSU?

Getting ready for BF3 and skyrim. (hoping to run on high/ultra)

Will the heat be too much for the top card to handle? Was planning on the dual fan sapphire edition. Current temps idle at 54C but that's because of the 3 screens I'm guessing :S. Never goes over 70C from what I've seen.

Will I have issue's with Eyefinity and crossfire?

Would it be a better idea upgrading to an i5 2500k with z68, SSD, H80, HAF X case, AX850 first and then the card later?

Thanks in advance

unless I'm mistaken isn't a 750 capable of 4ghz? push it further than the current 3.2ghz eitherway and add the 2nd 6950, should handle bf3 and skyrim on high/ultra.

I would but I only have a hyper 212 and my temps are 40C idle, I would get at least 4.5 ghz if I had the 2500k.

So you wouldn't see any other issues?
