Yes, it will run it but you will need to use a Molex to PCIe 6-pin adapter as the PSU only has one 6+2 pin cable and the video card requires 2 6 pin PCIe power cables.
A system with an HD 7870 needs a recommended 500w power supply.

This XFX is the cheapest, best unit I see. Like all XFX units it's made by Seasonic.

This Corsair CX500M is a decent unit ( The CXM models are better than the plain CX units due to using higher quality capacitors. ) and modular.

Take a look at these numbers on a Toms build. Overclocked system, video card and memory, resulting in a 380 watt load for fully loaded cpu and gpu.

This 430 will power your setup just fine with the caveat of the Molex to PCIe adapter I mentioned in the previous post. The general PSU calculators are taking into accound PSU's with multiple rails, low quality PSU's and then to get your system in the 40%-60% PSU load where you see the optimal efficiency. Your systems regular power draw will sit just under or right in the ~50% area.
