I want to upgrade my video card.
I currently have the ASUS Radeon HD 7670,
and I want to upgrade to the Radeon HD 7870.
My chipset is AMD 970 and i have a 350 w max power supply.

I don't know much about computers, just need to know if the 7870 will be compatible with my chipset and power supply.

i dont think the psu can take it... you should upgrade it too before getting the 7870. you should have atleast a brand name 500W psu for it. maybe even more if your cpu is power hungry too.
