The enermax liberty are great PSUs, 620W should be enough to run any 2 DX9 based cards, the new DX10 stuff coming out later this year might need up to 300W each in which case even 620Ws won't be enough. Other brands to check out are OCZ and Seasonic (if you want some really quiet). Any of the newer (600W+) PSUs should be able to handle dual cores and another graphics card np. As for the case looks pretty nice, just a lot of fans to make a lot of noise (but i guess if you turn them all down it be a bit more tolerable).
