You'll be perfectly fine, the ax860i is a very nice PSU, Corsair's top of the line. http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp You can use this link and put all your specs in to see how much wattage you'll actually be using. Im guessing that you'll be around 600-650w total with...

With $1200 you could get a really nice system. I'll list some parts, but the most fun part of building a PC is picking the parts in my opinion CPU: i5-4670k $240 The intel i5 is all you need for gaming it should do the job very well i7 is overkill and will give you a minimal increase in...

650 watts is cutting it close for two 7950's. You will probably want to upgrade to at least 750w or 850w to be sure. You want some head room for the wattage on your PSU. I wouldn't risk it. You could seriously damage your system. because you didn't list your specs in the post I cant completely...

No problem, Good luck.

Somehow, I thought you said ASUS GTX 660. Not sure if by coincidence you actually do have the ASUS card. I would suggest double checking the connections from the PSU and checking the connectors from your PC to your monitor. One way to check if Power is getting to your GPU is to see if the fans...

It must be the motherboard then. Some of those motherboards on prebuilt systems like HP can't handle the extra power. So there is no response from the monitor? Did you plug the connectors back into the motherboard properly after reverting back? Are the CPU or case fans spinning when you turn the...

Bean007 pretty much summed it up for what you should check on, but from my experience the ASUS GTX 660 card has a LED indicator near the 6 pin connectors and if the plugs are installed correctly then the light will be green and if it installed incorrectly the light will be red.

One will do, 3-way crossfire is overkill and a bit ridiculous. Save yourself some money and your electric bill. If you really want to crossfire, get one card now and if you see your performance decrease as newer games come out then upgrade to a two card solution and so on.

How many watts is your power supply? Did you make sure the wattage could support the GPU? Did you install the drivers properly for the GTX 650? Its odd that the keyboard doesn't work because its a peripheral and not in the computer. This could point toward the motherboard. From what I am...
