It should run it but it will be a little bit forced to do it. I have a 400W PSU with 2x18A 12V rails and a GTX560 and it runs well only if i keep everything at stock frequencies. Just try and see if it's stable, run some stress tests. With a low power PSU my PC behaved like this: everytime it "sucked" more power from the PSU, it froze for a few seconds, then ran again for a few minutes and froze again for a few seconds, and on and on. Get a single 12V rail PSU. Even the 50$ Corsair VS450 will be better and it will power your PC just fine.

Probably worse. A review of another 430W PSU that was made by HiPro showed it was actually capable of 430W, but iirc (I'll take the ding for not having a link) the low-end Thermaltake TR2 units are overrated. If it has a little voltage switch on it, assume the worst (the exception is the Antec VP-450 which is actually an efficient, modern design).
