I want to set up crossfire to get the best performance out of an eyefinity setup. So i was wondering if getting dual 6870 or 6950 is better. The total price difference is in the 120-130 dollar range and I am trying to save money. So will the performance between these two cards make a big enough difference?

So i used the power wattage calculator at NewEgg for a phenom II x6, dual radeon hd 6950, 7200rpm HDD, (2x4gb) Ram, a high end motherboard, and DVD-RW optical it gave me 841w. Now i will also be overclocking my CPU. So will 850w be enough or should i go more? I found a 1000w that had good ratings but is cheaper than a 900w. Would getting a 1000w be a problem with this build?

Okay so I am looking for a fast performing hard drive(SSD's are just too expensive) and I have two in mind...

Western Digital Caviar Black 750gb 7200rpm 64mb cache $59

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm 32mb cache $85

I will be using this for gaming,music, & movies... is the 32mb cache or 250gb space a big difference for my needs? I am really edging towards the cheaper one because I am trying to hold a budget overall.

SONY DDU1681S-0B – OEM CD/DVD Drive

Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM

AZZA Solano 1000R Black / Red Case (Has 4 LED fans)

COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler (Will Have Dual Fan)

And then some extra wattage for some other LED stuff like cold cathodes

I listed all my specs because I don't really know about wattage and volts..amps ect.

My case is a AZZA Solano 1000R Black/Red and there is only supposed to be a clearing of 150mm for a heatsink and fan to fit because of the big side fan. So will the COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 fit in that space? I think it will but I always like to make sure.

Rosewill 1000w Bronze Series Power Supply

Is that a good build? With the all other stuff I am getting with this set up it comes out to $997

Also is the 1000 watts overkill? That is the only other thing I am unsure of should i go with 500-750w instead?
