6 gbs g.skill ddr3 1600 going for 8 gbs
4850x2 gpu
monsoon 3 lt cpu cooler
1 500gb hd
1 dvd drive
xclio windtunnel advance case

would a 700 watt psu be enough to pwer this rig? if so i would be greatful if you could recommend one.

750W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006
850W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139009

I'm sure both will be fine but I would get the 850W.

Here, use this to determine the wattage you need:

Brands such as ThermalTake (ToughPower line), Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, PP&C and Enermax are all good.

The PC Power & Cooling 750 in your post is good. Or Corsair 750tx.

this doent related to the psu..well in a way it does, cause i'd have to up the size of the psu. I was thinking of using this rig for 2d/3d artwork as well as gaming. would i be overkill to add another 4850x2
