If that's your PSU (Is be 99.9999% certain it will be) then on an actual spec & quality level it's good enough to run a 280x.

Your issue is it only has a single pci-express connector as far as I remember (it's a long time since I've seen one & I think it only has a 6 pin)waning you will have to use a twin molex to 8 pin adapter cable.

Not really a real recommendation as I personally never like using them BUT the answer is yes it will run the 280x

between the psu and the cpu at full load it takes in around 500w so i would recomend getting at least a 550w or 600w psu but currently your psu will not handle the graphics card. speaking it has a 350w tdp under full load.

A 475w & a Xeon would tell me that's a dell or hp workstation prebuild ??

Meaning that's a good quality delta in there.

That said the 280x needs a 6+8 pin power & your PSU will not have those connections.

You're looking at 220w draw if its an Asus dcu2 or strix .
You really want a decent quality 550w to run it.
