i have used extreme calculater and it says my recomended psu wattage is 368w with system load at 90% when system load adjusted to 100% peak load its give me a recomended wattage of 406w will my fsp 400w-60 psu handle this if i dont overclock or anything

its not a good idea to use this PSU for a card like hd 6870 generally hd 6870 require a minimum of 500 watt PSU with 25+ amps on 12+ volt rail so the card when under full load the PSU can easily give up so its better to be safe than sorry.
