  1. that should do it


  2. That should do fine.

  3. I don't think a 750w power supply would be enough. If it would be enough, you'd be cutting it closer than you'd want if the CPU and video cards were all near max load. That opinion is based (in part) on data like this:

    http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.a...

    (and other data, some of which are listed in the sources, below).

    Now, the number in that web page, above, is likely measured at the wall, and the PSU is actually delivering less power than that, depending on its efficiency.  But still, I'd suggest a 1000w PSU, maybe a Corsair 1000hx or OCZ EliteXStream 1000w PSU, or even, maybe, something larger.
