Thank you for your reply blackbird, i googled up the watt use of radeon 7870 hd and its about 80-90 and when i look at the watt use of rx 570 i saw it was 150w..... theres a huge difference are you sure i can run

And if i OC my cpu is it going to bottleneck still ? Should i change my gpu or OC . Thank you
 
The HD 7870 uses far more power than 90W maximum. Those cards usually have two 6 pin pci-ex connectors attached to them. 75W from the motherboard, plus 75W for each 6 pin= more than 90W. The 570 should use less power, you'll probably only need one pci-ex connector for it. Speaking of which, check what kind of pci-ex connectors your power supply has. If you have two 6 pin connectors, don't buy a new card that needs one 8 pin connector.

Of course you could use an adapter but I don't recommend that.
