It just wouldnt supply sufficient power, or worst case scenario it could blow and take other hardware with it. The GPU has a 150w draw and the CPU wont need more than that either, even if it's a 4790k (you didn't say), so thats unlikely with an EVGA PSU but the GPU does have a 500w recommendation.

The minimum recommended is 500W. It might work, but don't overclock anything.
