My oc msi 7950 only takes in 350 watts. ~Litecoin mining.
You need to clarify that this is the TOTAL system wattage consumption

Let's get this misconception cleared up shall we? It's not about watts, it's about amps. Quality over quantity.
Given the same voltage they are the same thing....

That is Plenty! I run 4x 7950's on a 850w SeaSonic.
Yeah but that's probably for BTC mining. If you go full throttle LTC mining and use the CPU too you'll probably pull more than 850W with 4 7950s.
I have 2 undervolted MSIs running off a low end Antec 400, but if I tried LTC mining I would be well above 500W just for those 2 cards.
Its for LTC mining.
a fellow BTC miner has 3 * 7950 at 270W each so do the math
AMD suggests a 750W for a tri-fire setup, so 800W should be more than enough if it has enough AMPs. Check that it has a single rail also.
For Litecoin I have two 7950s using 545w. Four would push it up to 945w.

As long as it has over 60A on the 12v rail it should be OK. If it's a name brand like Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, OCZ, XFX, Coolermaster you should have no problem.
Could someone kindly tell me if an 800W PSU is enough to run 2 x 7950's?
