    That powersupply is unnecessarily strong, but you're planning on being able to add in a second graphics card right?

    Well I can tell you that you won't really need a second graphics card for long, I'm still running of a 4850, and can run most games on high/ultra at 1920x1080p with playable framerates, the 6850 should be even better.
