Hello everyone! I recently purchased this computer off of newegg, CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2062 Desktop PC Phenom II....

The PSU is from a company called extreme gear, but on the back off the PSU on the fan there is a thermaltake sticker right on the middle of the fan housing. I want to run cross fire (power color 6870's), and wanted to know if this PSU will fail. Thanks!

Thank you, I think I found what you were reading. I need a PSU that is only meant for crossfire around 650-750w, I have around 80$ to spend. Any suggestions?
