What is the make and model of your PSU?

it should be fine as long as it's a good quality unit

Your CPU is only 69 watts though so you will be fine.
I advise next time you buy a power supply you consider a Seasonic, XFX, Corsair or something similar. There are other good ones but they are a safe bet if you don't know a lot about them.
Hope you enjoy your new card and Happy Christmas:D

The only problem with those brand are not everyone can afford them...hehehe. antec and fsp build some good quality brand of psu, but there not as great like seasonic, xfx and enermax. if your on a tight budget go for fsp or antec. but if you do have the money go for seasonic, xfx and enermax.

Antec do not build power supply units. The re brand them. Seasonic makes most of Antecs and XFX's power supply units.
SuperFlower power supply units are the second best. Their build quality is nearly as good as Seasonic but they rarely sell under their own name. They make the Rosewill Capstone series and many other top quality units.

forgot to mention antec&xfx psu are re-brand/made by seasonic, but there still much more cheaper than seasonic,xfx,nzxt,enermax.
to people that's on a tight budget fsp and antec is the way to go in my opinion.
