Need some help on new build

[lubo4444]

Hey guys i'm building my second PC and those are the parts that i'm going to get soon:

1. CPU - Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz

2. Motherboard - ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX

3. GPU - Radeon HD 5870

4. RAM - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

5. Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"

6. Case - COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP

7 Power Supply - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS

I have two questions that i want to ask:

1. Which one do you think is better Sapphire or XFX for video card brand? ( i want to get one of those two but need some opinions on them.)

2. Will the power supply be good for this build or i need a bigger one? If i need a bigger one what will you suggest me to get?

i'm currently going to purchase everything from newegg.

Thanks.

Thanks cuz i hear many people are getting XFX but Sapphire is very popular too. On my old computer i have probably 4-5 years old Sapphire card ( cant remember exact time ) and is still working 100% with no problems and it's hard for me to decide now.

XFX usually have long warranty.
Which two card are you refering to? I suggest you go for the one with better cooling.

What do you mean? In newegg i see only one of each.

XFX and Sapphire are about equal, sapphire cards generally costing a bit less.

1. Sapphire and XFX are both good brands. XFX has a better warranty. Really which ever one has the best price and clocks.

2. The Power Supply is fine.
