Johnnyguru didn't have many good things to say about that PSU. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.p [...] y&reid=109

On the other hand, if it works and your system is stable, then there's not a lot of reason to replace it. That 7970 will actually use less power than your 6870...

It looks like (other than the fact that its not a 700W, but a 600W unit) that its fine. As long as the 12v rails are powerful enough for your set up you should be gtg.

As an aside since it is based off an older design (Oklahomawolfs biggest problem with the unit) It will run all the +5v devices you could ever want and more.
