I'm still using an older system and want to upgrade to a 6870 but I'm not sure if my psu can handle it. I am using a Cougar A560.
If it's not sufficient can anyone recommend one?
 
That PSU is kinda bad.

But if you insist on keeping it, at least get a newer graphics card than the 6870. A 7790 for example, it'll perform just as well but draw less power.

If you're going to replace it, something like an XFX 550W would be excellent.
