System Specs

You're not getting the point.

Your current system (motherboard, processor, etc...) will not be able to let the HD 5870 unleash it's total power. That's why it is overkill.

The PSU you need to choose is of 500 Watts or more, but more importantly, that it can deliver more than 40 Amperes on the +12 Volt rail.
