A good 600-650W power supply would be OK but that one has only 23A on each of the 2 12V rails while a corsair TX650 V2 has 52A on a single rail which would be fine. Basically crossfire would be a no on that PSU it might run (it might not) but you would be taking a big risk.

Despite all those newegg 'reviews' its quality is not known, as I doubt that any of them have put a full load on it and measured its performance. And I'm not aware of any other technical reviews of that nature.

6850 Crossfire Power Consumption:
Idle = 170W, Load - Crysis = 378, Load - Furmark = 423W
These numbers clearly show that even a good 550W PSU can easily cope with two 6850s.

Any of these would be better as they are known to be reasonably high quality:
