I do not see what psu you have chosen.

What gpu are you planning to xfire with so we know how much power you need.

If you can spend a little extra look at picking up one of these from your supplier of choice.

Ok here are the requirements:

ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 4850 System Requirements

* PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
* 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
* Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to Certified Power Supplies for a list of Certified products
* Minimum 1GB of system memory
* Installation software requires CD-ROM drive

* For a complete ATI CrossFireXâ„¢ system, a second ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 4850 graphics card, an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard and one ATI CrossFireX Bridge Interconnect cable per graphics card (included) are required

this should be plenty for you: 71 pounds including VAT.

I assume you are getting a i5 or 1156 i7 with that motherboard.

yeah i am getting an i5 witha view to getting an i7 when the money becomes available :/

so when i bought another grahpics card i would be fully able to use them both at the same time ??

 

[Hefemeister]

The 4850 only requires a single 6 pin psu connection.

The 650tx has two so plenty of connections and plenty of power for xfire.
