The OCZ will power the system fine, I think you will need to use Molex to 6 pci-e.

a 5770 only needs one 6pin pci connector.

cheaper crossfire motherboard www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-251-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1782

that does crossfire at 8X/8X

and save money buy getting a 955BE CPU
