    crossfire on AX78 is my psu powerfull enough

    my power supply was playing up in my main pc so i got a antec 650 earthwatt which arrived yesterday .
    i going to be selling my 8800gt to mate in next couple of weeks and was going to buy either a radeon 4870 or 1 of the new 5770 .
    would this power supply be powerfull enough to run a pair of these in crossfire mode as i just spent £65 on new psu and cant realy afford to be going out + buying another
