Looking for advice

I finally put together my computer parts and I am currently waiting on shipping. I just want to be sure that I haven't left anything out, so if you think I am missing something please let me know. Also, I am planning on adding a second graphics card after the new year and I wanted to know if my PSU would be enough or do I need to go up in wattage. Any input would be greatly appreciated, I don't want it all to get here and realize I'm missing something!!!

CPU - Intel Core i7 950
MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3
GPU - ASUS Radeon HD6850 - I plan on adding another
PSU - Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR3
Cooler - Spire TherMax Eclipse II

I already have a case and I'll be using an Antec Skeleton full size. I know they are kinda gimmicky, but I like the design... Thanks in advance!!!

No, I don't think it would be enough, get a 850 watt atleast
 
Your 750W will be perfectly fine for to 6850's. They only use ~130W each. Figure 140W for an OC'd cpu, 20W for each RAM stick, 30W for the chipset, 10W for the HDD, and a generous 50W for the fans and other gadgets, and you're still only at 550W with the whole system running all-out.
