At that budget you may only get this
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

But i suggest you to increase your budget & atleast get this
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 V2 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Get Corsair CX500 @3.5K
It is the minimum safe choice for HD6870.
