A 430w PSU from Corsair will only run you about $30 on Newegg. Try that!
Also,
When buying your 6670, GET THE DDR3 VERSION. The ram in your computer is DDR3, and that's the ram the AMD APU uses for its VRAM (Because it doesn't have dedicated VRAM).
The 6670 DDR5 memory will be running at DDR3 speeds because that's what the AMD APU is using.

TL;DR
-Get the 6670 DDR3
-Get a 430W PSU

You already bought it?
Get the DDR3 Version (2GB)
It will get you better performance than 1 GB DDR5 because the DDR5 will run at DDR3 speeds.

Use the $20 - $30 that you save buying the DDR3 version of the card by spending the money to get a Corsair CX 430M 430w PSU. It is modular and it will save you money in the long run
