You should be fine.

If this is the Corsair you are talking about, it only has 2 x 6/8 pin PCIe power connectors. And the PSU has a somewhat marginal +12V rail for dual HD 7870s. But if you use adapters to make up for the missing 6/8 pin connectors, it will probably work.

^ Good catch. You do really need a unit with 4 x 6pin PCI-E connectors. If you already own the CX600 you can use adapters though.

Clutchc you linked to the old version of that PSU with 40a on the 12v rail. The newest version has 46 amps.

Ah! Even better for the OP. Like you say, if he uses the Molex/PCIe adapters, he can 'get by'... If he has 4 unused Molex available.

If you want to try that 600W Corsair, then yes. You will have to get a couple dual Molex to PCIe adapters. But I believe all HD 7870s come with the necessary adapters. Check the box your old HD 7870 came in. Mine came with 2 dual Molex to PCIe adapters and a CF bridge.
But you will be really pushing the 600W PSU with 2 x HD 7870 when you max out the graphics in a high-end game. If the PSU was intended for 2 cards that took 2 x 6pin each, it would have them attached.
