I can't afford the card I want for a while so I was thinking of buying another Sapphire 6870 to xfire my other one. I have an Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply which runs the 990fx Sabertooth rev 2.0 and my 8350 Cpu, 8gb 1600Mhz DDR3 memory, 2 x sata drives and 1 x SSD drive.
Question being is my PSU ok to run the extra card as one of these can be bought off the bay pretty cheap?
 
I think AMD recommend a 600w power supply for two of these in crossfire, which may well be purposely overstated, though I should imagine that it wouldn't leave you much headroom. See what others have to say.
