Other than the PSU wattage, though good quality, everything looks good.
Under load the least a 7970 was 300w. Two would be 600w plus the 91w for the cpu makes it about 700w.
Everything else plus probable overclocking, I'd look into getting an 8/850w.

get a 6700 (non k). it costs the same because you can get a cheaper cooler and motherboard. also it performs the same as OC'd 6600k in games and is way better for rendering.

I can see why you'd want that one because it's cheap but there is a reason why it is cheap.
The EVGA B series is not the highest rated in terms of quality and I still feel like it would limit you.
Your power supply touches everything in the computer so I wouldn't cheap out on it.

I would recommend the 850g2 but I do see a price difference of +200.
I don't know if that's too much. The g2 is an extremely high rated PSU.
You'll probably be pretty close to max power draw with little headroom but a 750w might just cut it.

I can use all of my budget getting a 850W, but I wanted to save some money

You might want to look into seeing if this is true. If you can come out better getting the i7 non-k, it might suit you better as it'll have less power draw since you wont be able to touch the clock and voltages.
