Best solution
A 6870 will not take much over 160 watts under extreme load.
I would not call a 750 watt power supply overkill in the sense, but less efficient then running a good 450 watt psu.
The 750 is a good idea if you plan for a future upgrade.
At current, with a more power hungry cpu and video card, I have a hard time pushing 350 watts of power use(With prime95 + games).
