Can the PSU take it?

[etherone]

Can a Antec EA650 650W PSU take 4870s in crossfire, or 260s in SLi?
And while I am at it can the CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W take 4870x2 in crossfire or 280s in SLi?

The Corsair one definitely can. I think the Antec one should be able to also, but you are pushing it.

Oh yeah, if you list your specs, we can give a more accurate answer.

Seems like the Antec 650W PSU will be able to handle it also as long as it has the connectors.

Here are some articles to reference:

Both PSUs will be able to do it easily. If the Antec doesn't have enough connectors, just use some molex to 6 or 8-pin PCI-E adapters and you'll be fine.

Here's a review of the EA650 from JonnyGURU for the record: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=110
