I have a radeon 6990 hd from ATI and I was wondering will my 500w power supply work with this card without causing any problems

sure, but what are you going to use to power the best of the rig?

Measured power consumption Radeon HD 6990 (unlocked mode)

System in IDLE = 193W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 526W
Difference (GPU load) = 333W
Add average IDLE wattage ~ 37W
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 370 Watts

Radeon HD 6990 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit.
