I have just bought a second 5770 and I want to crossfire and on the HIS website it says you need a 600W PSU I have a bequite 530W which is a very good make do you think it will be enough ?
 
I have a i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5Ghz, 4gb of kingston hyper X ram, an ssd, a standard HDD, a blu ray drive and a P67A-D3-B3 mobo
 
Ran 2 x 6870's with a Bequiet 600w ( white version, well I coudn't get black at the time) and 4 case fans, cf was iffy but nothing to do with the power draw.
 
2x 5770 here.
I had a Corsair 520w unit. Used to get a BSOD once every 3 weeks so I must have been right on the edge.
Upgraded to a CM 950w (yeah overkill but it was free :) ), not had a bluescreen since.
 
I ran x2 HD5770 with an Phenom x4 955 @ 3.6ghz and 8gb of ram and the entire system was drawing just over 350 watts at the wall socket so you should be fine.
