Yeah, I wouldn't trust the generic power supplies. They are made with inferior parts, and have been known to ruin entire systems when they die. 800w is way more than what is needed for your setup, but you want to get a quality power supply.

If you plan on staying with a single graphics card, a good 500w+ power supply from Antec, SeaSonic or XFX would be ideal.

You would probably be ok, but I don't feel comfortable recommending anyone keep generic power supplies, as a blown one might not just cost $50 to replace, it could cost 10 times that to replace the rest of the system it killed with it lol
