setting up a new rig and just wanna double check that its gonna work!

biggest concern is if the 1200w psu is gonna be enough to run the 3x69900 or if i should go with 1500w, gonna  oc the cards and hopefully get close to 400mhash per gpu
and the motherboard only has 2pci 16x slots so last card will have to go in a 1x slot does that matter? or do i need to get an more expensive 3 16xslot mb?

will i run into any other problems with 6gpus?

He quite clearly said he WAS going to oc' the cards, so don't be a smartass, and even then, it probably wouldn't work, because 375*3 is roughly ~1150, and that doesn't leave any power for the rest of the system.
