I got the B750 model
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.4ghz
Asus P8Z68-V LX
CoolerMaster Hyper 212
OCZ Special 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 7200RPM (x2)
Kingston 96GB V+100 2.5" SSD
CIT 700W Black Edition PSU
Fractal Design Define R3
I know I need to buy a 750w PSU.
1) Will it work with my motherboard?
2) Will it fit okay in my case?
3) Will I need to order any extra cables or anything?
I'll push the buy button as soon as you guys fill me in

It should work, though it may get a bit loud and toasty in that case.

XFX 750 Core Edition, if you don't mind non-modular.
Would this have all the cables I need: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-044-OK&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2466 ?
So, a r9 290 on a GX 650W Bronze(http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/powersupply/gx-series/gx-650w.html)
would work? Here's my specs:
i7 2600k @ 4.3.
Maximus IV Gene-Z
2HDD's
1SSD
8GB
2 LED case fans
Will I destroy my pc if I put in a r9 290 to replace my 6950 dirt 3 edition?
