Depending on the config that machine may take upwards of 350-375 watts or so and your PSU is only rated to 408 on the 12v lines when added together. That means you'd be running it at somewhere near 90% of it's rated capacity. Depending on the CPU and other gear though, it could be as low as 280-300 which would likely be fine.
Though it would probably run like that for a while, I would seriously consider replacing it if you want to run with high powered equipment.

It needs 600W. And from a good quality psu. Your Coolermaster is in Tier 5 of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html - Replace Immediately!!. Try a Sreasonic 620, XFX 650 or Anetc HCG 620M instead.

That psu is a tier 5 unit and it's suggested to replace it ASAP. It's not suggested to use it in any system regardless of the load.
