im planning on getting 2x2900pros, a water loop, and then my current rig
my question is will my psu be enough to handle it?
or should i sell it and get something new?

thanks in advanced

EDIT:
current specs
E6600
MSI 975X
1GB OCZ DDR2 800
Hiper 580 watt
1 80GB SATA
1 500GB SATA
Sata DVD Burner
 
If I were you I'd change it. Hiper PSUs are not known for their quality and the 580w only has 2 rails rated at 20 and 18 amps.

The R600 isn't the most efficient card and 2 of them in crossfire will put quite a heavy load on the system.

Something like this would be ideal
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

Hiper's are great PSU's dude b1gapl used one before and he had no complains....... I used on my e4300 build.... b4 my grades slipped...

but yes there are better... I'd say Corsair or PCPaC :0

Some have been running forever without problems but they do have a reputation of blowing up. There's a thread on another forum dedicated to blowing up hiper 580w psus and I can tell you there are dozens and dozens of very unhappy people in there.
