No it won't run it. The card actually requires a quality 600w or higher with 26amps on the 12v rail and an 80+ certification. The advertisements on the box say 400w to appeal to a larger market so more people will buy the card. As you can see it worked.

you will more than likely stuff the ram up on the card

whatever they recommend for the card add 50% and you will be in the ballpark

you need to be here or better as stated above

Yea there's no such thing as a good cheap power supply. The cheap ones are junk.
