Ok so my current system is as follows
M5a88-m mobo
AMD phenom II x4 970
Radeon HD 6950(unlocked shaders)
4gigs of ram
1 HDD
Seasonic S12II 520W

Now I'm currently doing some LTC/BTC mining on this rig and wanted to ask if my current PSU will be able to run both the 6950 and the 7750 at the same time at full load. I wont be putting the cpu under load though and considering that the psu can run a 6970 and also since the combined wattage of the 6950 and the 7750 equals the 6970 I guessing it should work?

Still not sure if it is a good idea for the psu to be operating close to full load or not.

If this works i'll get another 150kh/s
 
Solution
It should be able to handle it, a 6950 is about 200watts, and a 7750 is about 55 watts. Add in about 150watts for everything (or less, will vary depending on load of other components) else and you come out around 405w. Most of that power will be on a 12v rail (which you have 480w available) so you got a decent margin of error there as well. So I think you will be fine.
