I run mine nonstop at 1125 core/ 1500 memory on stock voltage and it runs like a champ.

Do you know what the best overclocking numbers are for it?


Varies by card. You'll have to experiment yourself.

Mine was stable at 1250/1800

For a single 7950, I'd go with at least 600w bronze. I would get 750w or 850w for future xfiring

I have a 550w but am getting an 850w-1000w when I get my second one. 1000w is overkill but I like to have headroom for future expansion.

1440 > 120hz = Truth

650W Seasonic/Cosair for PSU

Memory? pick up the cheapest 8GB(2x4GB) 1.6GHz 9-9-9-27 timing sticks.

Blue is correct if you plan to upgrade in the future to CFx or 9950/70 since the 9xxx series is allegedly AMD's largest die in 3 refresh cycles.
