Do you guys think this Rosewill Lightning 1000 single 12v rail power supply will be enough to power a 4x 5850 overclocked mining rig?  I bought it in a combo deal with a case on Newegg but maybe I should have gotten a 1200 watt psu Sad.

Here's a list of the system's components:
4x Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 XTREME http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W75ATI
Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182239
MSI 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard
AMD Sempron 140
A 500 GB 7200RPM Seagate 2.5" sata drive previously used in my laptop before it got an SSD

And that's it for the hardware.  I think the 1000 watt PSU might be enough but I'm open to the idea of trying to return it or selling it on ebay.  I have the system assembled with just a 8800 GT in it for now until the 5850s show up in a week or 2.
