Hi everyone. I wanted to change my VGA and found a cheap second hand Sapphire HD6950 1GB.
I wonder whether my poor PSU will be enough for it or not. If not I will buy a 2nd hand 6870. Sapphire recommends 500W PSU. But I learned on the forum that wattage was not the only important thing.
The PSU is a Hiper Type M HPU-4M530 - 530W.

Here are other specifications of the PSU : http://hipergroup.com/products.php?lv=4&cate=1&type=7&pid=16&action=Specification
My current specs (which is very old but still can play BF3 with not so bad settings
) :
Gigabyte p965-ds3
Intel Q8400 OC@3200
Gigabyte GeForce GTS 450
2x2 GB ddr2 800
Asus Xonar DX
2x1tb hdd
dvd writer
2x120mm 1x80mm fan
Xigmatek Loki CPU Cooler
Thanks in advance.
