I'd bump up to a quality 550w unit for some extra headroom, but i'd say a quality 500w unit would be sufficent as well. Granted you stated that your PSU is "not branded", so if you are unable to recognize the brand of the unit then i personally wouldn't use it. As for that system i would want to make sure i'm getting steady and clean power when at load. I would only go with no name or generic PSU's if the system i'm using won't be consuming much.
