I have an Ati Radeon Hd 6450, 4 gigs of ram, and an Core 2 Duo E6850 (the cpu I want to replace).
My psu specs are

200-240V ~/45A 50-60HZ

Output: +5V ===/22A Max -12V === /1A Max
+5V (FP) === /4A Max +3.3V===/17A Max
+12VA ===/18A Max +12VB ===/18A Max

Combined Power on +3.3V and +5V Rails not exceed 150W.
Combined Power on +12VA and +12VB Rails not exceed 264W.
Max Continuous Total DC Output Power shall not exceed 305W.

Should be fine, don't expect a huge improvement though. I recently replaced a E8400 with a Q8400 and really am not seeing much benefit. Depends what you do of course but the main advantage is slightly better multitasking and it's not as much better as I expected.
