You should be fine. What is the rest of your system specs? How many drives and fans is important too. But for a typical system with a 6950 you should not draw more than 350w under heavy load.

I have one in a closet somewhere
Discontinued around 6 years ago, and wasn't all that good to begin with ( A 350 watt Dell psu from the same time period could put 28 amps of it's power on the 12v )
No way I'd run a modern system with it
