gpu uses 140w and cpu 65W the rest doesn't use that much so yes you will be fine but if you haven't bought your psu yet i advice you to get a 500/600w power supply so you have more room to upgrade components

No here is a quote from AMD's website regarding the HD6870:

"500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended5 (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for AMD CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode) "

Thanks! Just upgrading my dad's PC so he can run IL2-Cliffs of Dover at better frame rates than with his APU only, found a cheapish HD6870 on fleabay. He already has that PSU...so should be ok then, great.

Thanks.
