what to do?

I wouldn't trust that psu, get a XFX 650w with the £229.99 Gigabyte GTX480 card and you would be fine for a good while.

The cooler on it is brilliant too....around 20c less on load temps.
 
This is getting a bit out of hand :(
Would the 6950 be a better bet in terms of power draw then? Don't really wanna spend another £100.
 
I am now asking about power requirements though. I can't afford to buy a new psu as well as the other stuff I already ordered. Would the 6950 run ok on the psu I have? How about a 6870?
 
load wattage for 480 is around 420W, for the 6950 it's 290W, massive difference. Figures seem to be similar between the 2 ATI cards?
