Buddy bought a computer (against my advice) at best buy.

He wants to game with it, so I had him get a 7850OC.
But his power supply is some no-name 300 watt piece of crap. I have an unused corsair 430w.

Will that be enough?

Some details - link to the video card:

it will probably be enough, but cutting it close. might be ok in the short term, but would replace it with a 500w model when you can. maybe even underclock the video card back to stock 7850 clocks to conserve power.

judging by this link a full system under load with this card should be ok on that psu.
