I would strongly recommend to take at least a 400W PSU. It may be that you won't have any trouble with the 360W model that you chose, but I always wish to be on the safe side. Also AMD has stated that a minimum of 400W PSU is recommended for that GPU.

Went 400W to be safe. PCPP estimate was 220W so I figured 360W was safe... but 400W wont hurt.
