I would honestly skip on the PSU, your PSU puts out over 30A which is good enough to run most modern videocards. You would see a massive improvement moving from the 2x x1950pro's to 1x 4850 and the cost of this card really wouldn't be much more than the PSU's you are looking at.

Did you try Uninstalling Drivers only puting one card in and installed drivers then put the second in and reinstalling drivers

Corsair 1000w would cover it and then some http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007

check seasonic or silverstone, they have modular 650
if you can get a decent price do it, but a 1000w is way over kill and over priced for his needs.

Many thanks for the input guys - it seems to me that i want a 750w, modular, good make and most importantly at least 28A on two lines.
I saw an 850w , cant remember the make but it looked good only in the specs it say +3.3v 25A and i'm presuming that's a problem if i want to run two 1950s

Well i'm confused now since i thought the crux of my problem was the fact that i didn't have the amperage to run these two cards.
Now you are saying that they dont consume nearly that much.
One thing that concerns me about my system is that CPUID GPU-Z always crashes the whole system - total freeze - when i run it and stress the graphics at the same time. With or without any crossfire set up.
Now why would that happen? Surely GPU-Z is supposed to run in the background while you stress your hardware? Is there something inherently wrong with my set up? Could it well be that i'll buy a new PSU and it'll make no difference because there is a fault in the system?

I live in spain so i'm a bit limited in availability of products but i have found this
http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/Enermax_Infiniti_720W/
Seems to fit the bill and has two 'lines' that carry 28A or more. Enermax have a very good reputation.
I am able to get a corsair hx620 for 2/3 the price but i'm not sure that it will have enough 'headroom' for overclocking the rest of system.
Any thoughts?
