Hi greg570 Welcome to TSF
Here is some information on PSU selection.
Power Supply Information and Selection
Remember the PSU is the heart of your system poor quality or not enough wattage can damage other components.
You 350 may be the bare minimum if it was a good quality PSU.
Since it is likely the one that came in your case, (cheap) I would not recommend trying to power your selected components.
