Is it alright to power a 4890 like this?

It's a Dynex 350 or an Antec 350. I have both. At full load it's cutting it pretty close on the 12V line, but I think it might be able to handle it. Also: I'm OK blowing out a PSU, but not OK with ruining anything else attempting this.

Best solution

Once a PSU blows (particularly a cheap one), all bets are off in terms of voltage regulation. There's nothing to prevent it from sending a surge through into other system components. I definitely wouldn't play Russian roulette with a PSU.
