Is this PSU any good?

Looking at the OCZ GameXStream 850W

Just seems really cheap not sure if i should go with it but i do like that price if its reliable.

Im thinking about running an i7-860 at 3.6 - 4 Ghz with a 5870 and would like to expand to 2 of those. Would it be worth it to buy this one or should i go with the 850 Thermaltake for $120?

Thats not a bad PSU you shouldn't have any problems running to 5870's with that its got 4 rails with 20 amps on each so it should do just fine but if you wanted to get maybe a little better you could buy the thermatek.

I would look for a psu that has a few more amps on the 12v rails that might be ok for a single 5850 but in crossfire I would worry about it.

Would this one work or do i need higher still for 2 of them?

It would run two 5870 in C/F just fine. I would go with a Silverstone/Antec/PC Power&Cooling/Corsair unit myself though.

Any of these would work fine.

I like a single rail. Both are good units though.
