So right now i have a 750 watt pc power and cooling power supply and i was thinking about moving up to a crossfire system. Do you think its big enough for say a core i7 @ 4ghz plus two 5870s (when released) in crossfire?

the rest of the system would be
6gb ddr3 ram
1tb hard drive
6 in case fans
etc.

If the 5870's power draw is around that of the 4870's it will be enough.
