It will work, but won't be stable. It sounds like a very cheap PSU, never heard of that brand. On another note, Why are you pairing a nice E4300 with a... 8600GT?

If you're buying a nice new system why would you skimp on the PSU???, it's basically the heart of your computer and you're putting some crap ass cheapo brand asking it to fry your system.

If you can afford it, always buy a better PS than you need, because it wil only get worse with time. I know nothing of that brand, it may be good, it may be bad. I think that someone had a PS 101 guide, I can't remember if he is still around though.

I choosed this one after reading the power supply FAQ on this main page, acording to the Recommended Sub-$150, high-efficiency PSU's http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1460 it says that for a performance PS is a criteria of 30A of combined 12V rails, and this one has 39A conbined, and after comparing the specs of the label that comes on the Power Supplies 101: A comprehensive guide http://www.motherboards.org/articles/guides/1487_3.html , this PSU is more than they show.
But just want to make sure, more A is good ???

Amps are just the bare minimum requirement for a good PSU, good PSUs are more importantly rated0 on component quality and stability, and the PSU of your choice is a complete unknown, that's why it's safe to assume that it's a cheap, unstable POS.

Go for the Seasonic S12, Corsair HX, Antec NeoHE, or PC Power & Cooling Silencer series. You can't go wrong with any of those.

hec Orion XPOWER585 actually is a solid PSU for a good price. I have heard great reviews on it and its MUCH cheaper than most of those overpriced PSU's that will perform no better.

At 585W, Dual +12v, and a 1 year warranty, for about $30...you can't go wrong. Dont pay twice as much just because a label has a known name on it.

It's a great PSU, its like a Topower 430w and it kicks Thermaltake 420w ass!!,
Go for it!!

I have it in a Athlon X2 Kuma 7750 BE 2.7Ghz @ 3.2Ghz 24/7, ThermalTake Blue Orb II, Biostar TA790GX 128M, XFX Ati Radeon 4770 512 MB, Corsair 2x 1024 MB 800Mhz CL4 2.1v, 500 GB Sata II, 320 GB Sata II, 160 GB IDE, CD-R/DVD-R IDE, 2x 80mm System Fan, 1x 120mm System Fan.

Cheers!!
