There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

It should enough,the 6950 is power efficient @ 150-200 watts load x 4=~ 800 watts.Only question would be do you plan on overclocking as those recommendations can certainly increase due to overclocked power requirements.
