Would it be possible to run 2 5870s
with this psu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168....

The psu does not have 4 6 pin connectors, so I will need to get at least 2 4 pin molex to 6 pin connectors. One for each card.

I would be using them to mine litecoins so I will be overclocking the core clock but lowering the memory clock. I won't touch the voltage.

As for the rest of the system: AMD Athlon X2 6000. 4 gig of ddr2 ram. 1 ide 7200 drive. about 5 or 6 fans.

This will be running 24/7. So want to make sure it works.

On this site alone I've seen dozens of people having problems because of a bad PSU. It is a common fact, but a lot of people don't know it. For all you know, he might have a Logysis PSU. (The really bad ones.)
