Wrong forum... post in general hardware or video.

You should probably have read the sticky that says:

Topic Title: Do not post troubleshooting questions here
Topic Summary: You MUST read these rules before posting in this

"Welcome to the Highly Technical Forum! This is a place to discuss the latest issues and technology in the fields of computer architecture and engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and other sciences. It is meant as a forum where people who are serious about technology can share ideas and thoughts without concern for product and brand loyalties. We welcome a wide range of technical topics, from "How does a CPU work?" to "Which cache mapping policy offers the best trade-off in terms of hit ratio and access time?"

Questions regarding troubleshooting, technical support, and product advice belong in other appropriate forums such as General Hardware, Networking, Video, etc. They have more traffic and, they are visited by knowledgable, enthusiastic members eager to share good advice and help troubleshoot problems. "

But to answer your question, it might be OK, but I'd get a better PSU.
 
Yes that is more than enough power. I've seen dual opterons and a 6800 ultra run off of a 350watt psu.

For some reason people these days go power crazy with their psus thinking that every system needs at least 500 watts just to post.
