Christmas Rig Finalisation

Okay guys, so after a fair amount of fiddling with various things I have decided on exactly what I'm going to be purchasing. I'd hugely appreciate if somebody could doublecheck these for me before I go ahead and buy anything, as I don't want to end up wasting a load of money on something that won't function. I just need to know if everything will fit and co-operate etc. Hopefully will have it ordered by the end of the day!

why do you want a miniDP to DVI adaptor if you have a DVI input in the card!? the signal it´s digital, the resolution it´s the same.....so i think you don´t need it!
For the rest of the build i think it´s ok!!!:)

Sorry, should have mentioned in the first post, I'm going to be using 3 screens.

And you are going to play games in those 3 monitors with only 1 7950...!? :)
what kind of resolution have the screens?

Although the 7950 can handle games on triple monitors on lower settings (more after Overclock, which I'm planning to do), probably not, I'll use the 3 screens for internet browsing, word processing and photo editing; then switch to a single screen for games.

My monitors aren't 1080p also, they are only 1680x1050.

Well if you're going to be gaming on just one 1680x1050 monitor then I can't see you going wrong with any of the components you've chosen here.

If you sometime in the future want to upgrade and mabye buy another 7950 then I'd believe that PSU will be sufficient. At that point you might even want to try out gaming on those three monitors of yours =)

Thanks for your time friend, and yes I do plan on buying another 7950 not too far down the road (probably after the next series of cards come out, so that they become cheaper).
