We would need to know what you are powering (your system specs) to know for sure. IMO, I won't trust any new build or any build to a RAIDMAX PSU, so I would look to return and replace with a Corsair, SeaSonic, XFX or Antec (at least).

The PSU in theory has enough power to handle the GTX 450 safely. My concern is the quality of the brand and is it worth the risk.
