It's German, but the graphics should be understandable. I was wrong with that the 5870 is better than 2x 4890 but it comes really close, sometimes even beating the GTX295. It defintely plays in the same league like the 4890 Crossfire, 4870X2 and GTX295. And it still is much easier to handle than a multi GPU configuration. In addition it uses less power, is less noisy etc. And complaining about the SIZE of a 5870 is kinda stupid, if the alternative is a Multi GPU system with 2 bigger cards.
About the PSU: They may use a cheap PSU to keep the price low. Remember: Man is greedy And btw, WHY should the seller of this PC NOT advertise the name of the PSU brand, if the rest is top-notch? The only reason not to use a brand's PSU name is, that it is indeed the regular cheap stuff. It's just my opinion, but I would never entrust my top notch gaming hardware to a cheap PSU. And I have no doubts that the advertised PSU is the regular low quality stuff.
That reminds me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTVEtr14FEA
