I have one 5870 but was thinking of getting another to xfire them.
I have a 600w Enermax Noisetaker PSU.
Will that be enough to power 2 5870's plus.....
E8500
Maximus Formula mobo
8 gig of pc6400 ram
2 x WD Raptor HDDs
4 x 120mm case fans
1 xfi soundcard
2 x dvdr drives

Or will I need to upgrade my psu??
I was running 2 x 3870's in xfire before I got the 5870.
 
Would be right on the limit if your E8500 is a stock speed.

I personally wouldn't. :)

But having a E8500 even at 4Ghz and 2 5870 in CF is a waste, the cpu would be a major bottleneck.
