It's probably good enough, but may might be running under a fairly high load sometimes.

BestBuy has the 750w Corsiar for $119 right now and would be a steal.

I'd say it's cutting it close...but then again it's a Corsiar...

I think you'll be fine.

The corsair 620 is a monster of a PSU... and the draw from the 3870's is relatively low compared to some other highend cards. You should be fine although it doesnt leave much room for upgrades.

I would look at PCP&C 750W

bestbuy has no corsair power supplies on their website?

You're absolutely fine with that Corsair. Q6600 draws about 110W at 3.0Ghz while 2x3870 = about 220W, add about 100W for miscellaneous components and that's roughly 66.6% (repeating, of course, heh). Its very stable (voltage-wise) and there is hardly any ripple at all:

If you have money to burn, buy a new PSU, otherwise stick with the awesome unit you already have.

I've got about the same setup with that PSU, but with 2 8800GT's. It works fine...

Heck I could run that on my HX-520 if I wanted to.
