So being new to pc building I just wanna make sure this is enough corsair ax 750w for x2 6950, I'm quite sure it is I've done a few psu calculator's and some research but would also like your opinion. I'm not gonna start the build for about a week and a half or 2 weeks just wanna make sure tho thanks.
Corsair ax 750w enough 6950 xfire?

Yes it will be enough for running two 6950s since they will draw about 480w when fully loaded and this is while running Furmark (CPU used was a 970) Taking into account efficiency and all that technobable 550w at full load, always nice to have a nice buffer on that number in case of spikes, which will cause low quality power supplies to blow up; but don't worry Corsairs are solid.
Have you considered getting the AX850w? For a relatively small difference in price you get an extra 100w, also power supplies run peak efficiency at around 50% so you'll save a bit on the power bill (not much though) and you have room for future upgrades.

On the upgrade front I was thinking get 1 6950 then if I needed get another (was thinking a good few months down the line) that's why I thought get the ax750w, so could go for the ax850w. I'm a bit concerned about cable management so when I saw the corsair ax750w I kinda fell in love, and the reviews are good and I know corsair are one of the best if not the best psu manufacturers. Cpu wise wouldn't be intel to expensive for my budget
I was looking at a amd 955 oced cus I'm on a very strict budget. Thx for the reply.
EDIT:
that's one I looked at.
