I doubt it. If anything it will be a very tight squeez.
personally I would get a new psu, something at 550 or over.

I wouldn't try it. Even if it works, it would be close to the limit, where the PSU efficiency is horrible and you'd end up paying more on your electricity bill every month.

The PSU has only 264 Watts or 22 Amps combined on the 12V lines..
I wouldn't use it in that rig.
