I'm gaming/mining with an XFX R9 270X that is powered by an EVGA 600B 80+bronze psu but I want to add my XFX 7850 1gb core edition to this setup for mining purposes only. My PSU only has 2 pci-e connectors for the R9 270X but I have a pci-e to 2 molex connector for my 7850 that I want to use. Will my psu be able to handle this setup? I don't mine 24/7. Just around 5-7 hours a day when I'm not gaming.

Here is the rest of my setup:
I5 3570k
WD 1tb caviar black
500 GB hd from an old HP computer
Asus p8b75-v mobo
Crucial 8 GB ram
Samsung 120gb ssd
DVD rw drive
PCI Cable tv tuner card

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Solution
It should be electrically sufficient but there won't be enough PCI Express supplementary power connectors due to EVGA's cost cutting to meet the price point for that PSU.

Thanks for the responses. I upgraded to the EVGA 600B when I got my R9 270x then started to get into mining crypto-currencies and totally forgot about my Radeon 7850. I really don't want to upgrade my PSU again as I just bought the EVGA. Hopefully I can utilize the double molex to pci-e connector that I have to power the 7850 without any problems since I don't mine 24/7.
