Will this power supply work with a 6570?

We're gonna buy a 6570 for an old HP s7712n ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam... ). While I know it will fit, and I know it's a low powered card, I'm worried about the power supply.

The PC still has a crappy HP power supply in it, rated for 6A on the 12V rail (72 Watts) and "97W max on the 12V and 5V rail". I know its crappy, but will is it enough to power a 6570 along with a Pentium processor? Or are we stuck with a 5450 if we want an upgrade?

    The total power for the graphics card will be supplied by the PCIE slot. And it will supply plenty of power for that card... That PSU was installed by HP to provide all the power the PCIE slot would need...
