No that power supply is very poor, you need high quality one. This is about the cheapest you can get:

It is a great power supply and that is a great price.

eh ill consider it but would mine run the other card if not then i might as well jump the gun and upgrade the psu and use my current card until 5870 prices are down any suggestions for a powersupply that can handle my current system with 2 5870's

Even 1 4870 1GB is kind of pushing it. The power supply I listed would handle it, but 2 5870s require 4 6-pin PCIe connectors. This will get you there:
