ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 X2 System Requirements

650 Watt or greater power supply with one 2x3-pin PCIe® power connector and one 2x4-pin PCIe® power connector is required (1K Watt with two 2x3-pin and two 2x4-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

Look into a QUALITY 650w+ Corsair, PCP&C, Seasonic, Enermax or Antec Earthwatts PSU.
Make sure to avoid the low quality offerings as they are rated to supply more power than they really can.

+1 to outlw's suggestion - good companies. Don't go cheap on a PSU.

You ought to be able to get one of those for less than $100 if you look around.

PC Power and Cooling 750quad is a decent PSU and at a good price right now.
