I don't know if that will work. I would be worried about trying it. 16 Amps is not very many for running a modern system, and I don't know about the quality of the brand Thermal Master. Good luck!

Best I could come up with is that it is an older ( ATX 1.3 ) Coolermaster oem that was included with thier cases.
Can't find any real specs, but if it's 420 watts and only 16 amps I wouldn't trust it, even my 305 watt Dell power supply can put up to 22 amps on the 12v
 
Try it, if it doesn't work, upgrade the power supply.
Your system is not going to use alot of power, it's the quality and low 12v output of the psu that makes me leary of it.
Does it even have a 6 pin pcie connector ?
