Those are not good units. Here are some good ones, they'll all have enough power for a 7950.

The Thermaltake TR2 600W power supply should work fine for your setup. It may not be the best quality supply on the market, but it is a decent lower end PSU for the price.

No they are not, they are not good at all, the have no efficiency rating, no safety features nothing, that's why it's only $30.

The ancient Thermalfake TR2 units (with a little voltage switch on them) are overrated, inefficient, near junk. I would not expect one to reliably power a HD7950 under high load, at least not for long. Get something better.
