Is this website correct?

I want to use a dual 6950 configuration under a 600 watt psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

This website says that the recomended power supply is 579 watts with two 6950's, an ivy bridge i5 3550, 1 hdd 7,200 rpm, 2 sticks of ddr3 ram, 90 percent load on computer, and 30 percent capacitor aging. It seemed a little extreme to me, and i was wandering if that is accurate. Thanks

You'd need 4x 6 pin connectors, the Corsair PSU only has 2x 6+2 pins. YES that psu would be able to power everything, however you don't have the right amount of PCIE connectors. Unless, you want to go the unconventional Molex way, which is just inefficient!

Is the molex option really that bad? I don't want to buy another power supply
