I have 3 numbers on my power supply:

One says just that it is a 400W power suppy

Another says (+3.3V & +5V=150W Max)

And the last says (+3.3V & +5V & +12V1&+12V2=385W Max)

I calculated the recommended PSU wattage for my new rig to be 153w.

Is that 3 more than my power supply can support or am I fine?
