As long as you have the mini tower model. Due to the difference in age, I'm not sure if the screw holes will line up, or if that's an all around standard for some years.
Reply the grandpa psu may still work a very long time indefinitely. do not underestimate the quality behind it. Thermaltake Silent Purepower 680W is a good name brand and I would not worry of it causing havoc. the only draw back might be in the old days there was no 80 plus.

I think so. 680W psu is more than enough for RX 470. the card requires you to have a 400 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
