yea dont be surprised if your system shuts down in the middle of a video game, get a new power supply.

did something hint to you that you might need a new one when it didnt have the correct amount of power connectors lol... two of those cards is going to draw a lot of power, i would either send a video card back or get the corsair 750watt with the 12v at 60A.
 
Two 4870s need some major power to run. I would not run two of them with my Antec Neo Power 650w. It will run but it will be very stressful on your PSU....it will be under full load! That will shorten the life of your PSU. You can get some really good PSUs for not a lot of money right now, might want to think about investing in one.

With about $600 in graphics cards....I would spend another $140 on a great PSU

I`m form poland and i asked ppl to help me in bild PC in polish forum.
They, wrote it will work, but when I bought it, i saw i cant connect it ;/. Nobody realize it can not work. I asked lot of ppl in poland: "will it work?", but nobody know it.If i will know i wouldn't buy it ;/. 750W PSU with four 6-pin connectors are not so expensive. Im glad it will work and thanks for answers!!!
