Upgrading to 7870.

Hello people. A while back I bought a mini PC with the specification listed below.

I've been contemplating an upgrade from a Radeon HD 6870 to a Radeon HD 7870. However:

- will I need a stronger power supply than the 450 W Silverstone block that I have.
- which brands do people recommend. The Sapphire factory OC one looks good and is under £200.00 on Amazon right now.

(If you must know, I have a PowerColor. I had a duff one when first I bought this system and had to whang it back, so I'm not exactly enamored with PowerColor right now.)
