There should be a label on the PSU that list the information he was asking for.

depends what 400w you have tbh , a 400w named brand like a corsiar or tagan etc would be fine , but if its a no name brand cheapy then no it wont. it varies soo much from psu to psu. the stock case ones tend to be substandard and i wouldnt risk running either of those cards you mentioned on it tbh.
