Rosewill 950 watt PSU, enough for upcoming HD 5870 in Crossfire? I hope so

I just ordered a Rosewill 950 watt PSU with 80 plus bronze certification. I also have a Phenom II X4 965 currently building. Is this power supply beefy enough for those upcoming cards from AMD? My Gateway FX came with a 700 watt no name PSU and it seems to handle my q9300 with 8800GT SLI ok but I know its pushing it. Thanks guys

950 watt PSU is more than enough for 5870. These new cards are more power efficient than the 4000 series so you got nothing to worry about

Personally I wouldnt have bought a Rosewill PSU. I would have gotten less wattage and better brand like Corsair,Antec,OCZ, etc

Use the PSU Tool here and you will have a better idea of how much power you are pushing ATM.

Are you sure your not adding your monitor into that?

Because the Peak wattage for the 4870X2 is 300w... CPU is what 130W... I'm not sure how you can get 600w on that rig.
