    The PSU Will be able to handle these cards but I need to know what other Hardware you are going to put in on the machine also I need to know if you intend to upgrade it sometime in the future

    Many Thanks for your Co-Operation

    my system specs are up to date, and that's the last upgrade for a while

    Even not knowing I can tell you you'll be fine.

    Only issue will be the lack of pci-e cables. I'd run 2 to the 50, and 1 each to the 30's with a 4 pin to 6 pin converter too.
