It's OK but it's not a 600W unit. Assume it's more like a ~500W unit. I'd say go for a good 650W if you want two 6870s.

Its a waste of money - its overrated by like 100W.
Corsair HX650, Antec TruePower New 650W, Seasonic X Series 650W. Pick any of those.

Heck, the good old tx650 will beat it hands down, and is cheaper if you don't mind non-modular.

Fusion Racing them 3 cost from £100-£130, so are way out of my price range,
allikat i was thinking of the TX650, as its £60, so in my price range,
but i read its to old?
Is there any more that will do the job, for about £60?
Thanks all.

The TX650W is old now and surpassed by some newer units, although its still a good PSU. That said for what you're using it for and with your budget it would actually be a pretty decent purchase. At least it can do the wattage its rated for too.
This XFX is pretty good too I believe. There is also the 650W XXX which is modular but has a few issues.

I'd say go for it if you can get one that cheap, its actually a good buy then.
