You could try undervolting.  Or use two PSU's.

Try upgrading the GPU instead, the 5770 and 5850 won't give you much hashing power anyway

What make/model and how old is the psu ?

Sounds like the 5830s are using the same rail.

HT xD

How many +12v rails/combined amps and what is it's rating ? eg. 80+ gold.. ect..

If its a budget like psu, I wouldn't push it too hard.
