It is recommended not at all. I don't think any of the cards should be added in a 430W PSU.

buddy order a good PSU now. if it isn't avl locally order from SMC Intentional, hassle free online shopping. if you still want to go for the ones avl at your place, ask shopkeeper for CM RealPower 460W or higher. if he doesn't have, ask him import it.

but then getting a good PSU yourself (even from SMC/ITwares/etc) looks much better to me.

FSP is the OEM of Tacen PSUs and they have good reviews. But they are very cheap...probably they are manufacturing it in Asian countries to reduce the price. I had a hands on experience with the 600W module and from the outer look it is no where near Corsair or other premium brands. But they are running a HD 6850 along with a Phenom II 720 and 6 Gigs of ram without any issues. Another thing is they are having modular design, very rare in this price point.

It is very hard to find reviews about them as they are not active in Europe and US but I found some reviews in other languages and read them...thanks to Google Translate. Reviews are generally good. One thing, those PSUs are not as silent as Corsair or Seasonic.

My suggestion is grab the 600W module, price is only 3.2-3.5K. It is 85+, having quad 12V rail with 18A on each. Here is a Review.. Don't get the 500W, probably it is discontinued and details are not present in their site.

Yeah, it should be sufficient for the 6950. For 6970, it is a bit borderline.

If he is using only a single HD6970 he can easily OC his cpu+GPU to max level possible with that PSU ;-)

That PSU is more than enough to handle HD6970 with ease and he will still have much more power to spare ;-)
