My brother has just gone and ordered this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-080-OE&groupid=43&catid=2053&subcat=2063

to go along with his ATI 6870, and despite the fact I told him he would likely need a new PSU, he didn't order one. I have just checked his current one and it is an 'Antec Earthwatts 430w'


Now I am pretty sure this isn't going to be up to the job, so what would be the cheapest but decent option for his new build? (i usually go with corsair myself, maybe something like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-022-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084 but he needs to spend as little as possible on this, so need cheaper options. Modular would be preferred)
 
going by what u have said he has/will have the calculator states minimum of 287w and reccomends 337w.

its a decent psu he might get away with it.
