Pretty sure you can run any and every single card GPU on a 700W PSU. The GTX 690 only requires a 650W PSU and that's a dual-GPU card, and two 7970's in Crossfire use up less than 650W. The only reason a 700W PSU wouldn't be adequate is if it's a super-generic model that doesn't have enough amperage on the 12v rail(s).

Those are watts measured "at the wall" meaning overall system-wide numbers.

I think that statement is backwards, but if you expect more FPS by having more cores then you'll need a GPU to back that up. As for the SSD, I would choose something else besides an OCZ Agility -- Maybe something like a Crucial M4 or a Samsung 830 or an Intel 510/520. The Samsung 840 is about to come out as well and it's a beast of an SSD, but if you're running close on the budget then you might need to wait for one extra paycheck to afford the 840.
