Hey guys :)
How are you all this(******* cold) evening?
Just a quick questions. My Psu is the OCZ Stealth XStream 700W PSU. its specs are as follows

Power Device

Input Voltage Range AC 100 - 240 V
Frequency Required 50 - 60 Hz
Output Voltage +3.3, +5, ±12 V
Output Connector(s) 4 PIN internal power, 4 PIN mini-power connector, 15 pin Serial ATA power, 6 pin PCI Express power, power 24 pin ATX with detachable 4 pin section, power 8 pin EPS12V with detachable 4 pin ATX12V section, 8 pin PCI Express power with detachable 2 pin section
Power Output Connectors Details 1 x power 24 pin ATX with detachable 4 pin section ¦ 1 x power 8 pin EPS12V with detachable 4 pin ATX12V section ¦ 1 x 6 pin PCI Express power ¦ 1 x 8 pin PCI Express power with detachable 2 pin section ¦ 6 x 4 PIN internal power ¦ 2 x 4 PIN mini-power connector ¦ 6 x 15 pin Serial ATA power
Power Provided 700 Watt
Output Current +3.3V - 36 A ¦ +5V - 30 A ¦ +12V1 - 18 A ¦ +12V2 - 18 A ¦ +12V3 - 18 A ¦ +12V4 - 18 A ¦ -12V - 0.8 A ¦ +5VSB - 3 A

Now my question is this. Would i be able to run a 5870 n crossfire with this Psu using the Pci cables for the first card and two Molex to pci-e 6 pin adapters for the 2nd card?
All i have in my pc thats conncected to the psu is the motherboard, phenom 955 oc'ed to 3.6 (same voltage tho) 4Gb ram, 5LED lights, 2 CC lghts, Hi-ish speed 5 fans, 2x 7200RPM HD's and a dvd ROM. I Know it would be easier getting a new psu thats built for sli/crossfire but getting the extra 5870 AND a new extra psu (and chances are a new case to fit the new psu) would kind of wipe me out Money wise. Any ideas? Thanks :)
