Need a new PSU

I think you'll need about 500W just to be safe for a 6870 build, depends on what else you have in it anyway.

Go for 650W if you plan on adding another one at some point in the future.

Does http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CA-034-CS come with the 6 pins i need to run the card as i bought some the other day for my current and there the wrong ones and wouldnt fit in the slots due to the top middle been square when it needs to be rounded, if so ill order that now
Not too sure about that PSU actually, it seems to only have one 6 pin PCI-E connector - which isn't enough for your card.
I believe the 6870 is connected with 2 x 6 pin connectors, while the Power Supply you referred to comes with 1 6+2 pin. Could you just verify that for us? I remember VTX having two versions of the card, 1GB and 2GB, do you have the full description of the card?
I'd go for the second one in my post, it has four 6+2 connectors (You can plug a 6+2 cable into a 6-pin port). If your video card does have 2 power ports then it *should* be OK.
