Even though it is 7870 crossfire, the PSU you have picked out should be able to handle that load no problem unless your doing some EXTREME overclocking...like liquid-cooling or greater. Plus Seasonic is the BEST with PSUs, they manufacture most if not all excellent quality PSUs for other companies like Corsair and others.

some of PSUs from Corsair is said to be made by Seasonic also so that's why i picked Seasonic
