Hello dude, looking at that, it's rated at 430Watt - Which is rated at only 30 over what you currently have. Personally, I run 750w - With the system you are running, I suggest nothing less than a 600w. It's unfortunate as the PSU you suggested retails for around £75!!

Honestly, Phenom's like abit of juice and 400w just doesn't quite cut the mustard
