You need to tell us the PSU you have atm, your budget and where you live. Otherwise we're as clueless as you. 

 

Edit: This should also be in the Cases and Power Supplies sub-forum.

a 7870 uses 115W so unless you have a pure crap 300W psu you don`t need to change it

He would still need the two 6 pin connectors needed to power the graphics card.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

if he has one its fine,he can use the molex to 6 pin included. on a card like 290 i don`t recommend doing that but we are talking about a 7870 here so its all good. i`ve done it with more power hungry cards
