Yes, PC&P is probably my go-to brand for reliable power supplies. But in this case, I think that the Coolmax should work.
for TWO 4870x2 and a quad? this is like a super high end build. you would trust some crap power supply made in who nows where buy who knows who?

JUST BUT LIKE A PC POWER 1000 WATT AND YOU WILL BE FINE. Sorry for yelling . They are expensive but worth it. The 750 Quad is another option and will support you build, but just barely.

You mean this one?

Looks like its rails are a bit underpowered (18A), but there are four of them. It'd be safer to go with the Corsair or PC&P I recommended.
