Well, actually you can go with a 5670 because the wattage of your PSU is enough, but you'll be a little tight with amperage, also.. your PSU has 2 +12V Rails, so that means you have to balance them or the PSU could be unstable :)

Also - do not take the WEI as gospel. It's a very poor benchmark to compare real world usage to.
