Solution
I recommend a new PSU on general principal, the rosewill stallions are not quality units.

Having said that, the PSU's +12v rail and wattage will support 2 7870's. However, you will need an adapter, as the PSU only has two 6 pin and one 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors. (you will need four 6 pin connectors)

What if the 7870 comes with 6pin to molex adapter then will this work okay ? i believe each 7870 comes with a molex to 6 pin connector, meaning i would have 2 of them when i get the second card.
