I am building a budget build and would like you're input are my parts good and is their any way on bringing the price down i want to run games on high settings so can i go with a 7850. FYI I plan on adding a second 7870 in that is why the psu is 600w. Thanks for any Answers.
 
7850 and adding 7870 later? and 600W? sounds bad
