is a 450W PSU enough for a GTX 960/ A-10 6800k?

My specs:

A-10 6800k Quad-Core processor
8GB DDR3 RAM

I was using a 600W Corsair PSU with a GTX 960, but yesterday it the PSU blew a fuse for reasons I don't know yet (might have been due to a severe storm causing a power surge), and due to the power requirements of a 960 I've had to temporarily remove it from my computer. Until then, I'm using a backup power supply (300W, not enough for 960), and I'm looking to buy a new PSU.

I'm a bit strapped for cash, so I'm looking at an Antec PSU from newegg that's only $40. Unfortunately, it's only 450W. I'm wondering if this will be enough to handle a 960 and the rest of my system. Thanks!

Yes , as long as it's a decent 450w it's enough power.
