Don't know the rest of your specs, but according to the psu specs it should work. Huntkeys are very low quality, personally I would upgrade to something of higher quality ( PCP&C, Corsair, Antec or OCZ).

what DellUser1 said! Although it is hard to say for the simple reason that I never heard of th HuntKey brand. I checked their web site. Looks like they are a Chinese company that is active in Europe and Asia but not in the USA.

I never heard of the HuntKey brand.

Check out the reviews of them at Hardwaresecrets.com.
They mostly go BOOM when asked to deliver thier rated power or less, not something I'd want in any of my machines.

DellUser1 - Thanks for the link.

It appears HuntKey is a Chinese manufacturer that produces low quality psu's for other companies - Rocketfish in the USA. If memory serves that brand is associated with Best Buy.

Yep, I think that's where HardwareSecrets got some.
From my experiences with them and all the reviews I've read with NO negative competent technical reviews, I'm at risk of becoming an Antec fanboy. I'm just waiting for a deal on a Signature 650W.
If you read the reviews on that one, make sure you've got a bib, because you might start drooling.
