I've got here a Huntley 500 with 12v1 14a and 12v2 15a, is it enough for 6870??
And is it also enough for 6950?

Other components that I'm going buy are:
Msi h77ma g43
500 gb
I5 3450
2x4gb ddr3

Is my psu good enough?

Agree with Sunius, don't try it.

You are spending good money on your CPU and GPU, why blow them up with a 20$ PSU. Newegg has some good deals on corsair PSUs this week; alternatively, go for a seasonic, or some other reputable brand.

If you are in the US:

Is a good choice.
If you want to go a little bigger:

Keep in mind, that when it comes to PSU makers, even if their numbers appear equal, all things are not equal. There are lots of ways they can take shortcuts to get higher wattage rating for a poor design. Most cheap PSUs are cheap for a reason, they can range from slight embelishments on their output, to outright bullshit; or they can cut corners and output dirty power (lower or higher voltages than is safe for your PC), or skip on efficiency and/or safety protections (such as short circuit protection, thermal protection etc), not to mention the shortcuts they can take in quality control and manufacturing.
