Additional Comments: Looking to see what you guys think.
 
That PSU is one of the worst Corsair PSUs ever made. 150W overkill for even two 7850s. The TX650 V2, NZXT Hale82 650W, or the Silverstone Strider 650W PSU will be just fine. Unless you're very fond of the size and the looks of that case, don't get it. Full Tower is only needed if you run a custom loop, and even then, some Mid-Towers support it just fine. What do you need in that MOBO that cheaper motherboards lack?
