IMO would be more determined by your mother board, & how many drives you have plugged in.

Give it a shot, make sure you have Mother Board Monitor or similar program that will let you watch voltages.

Best of all, do it progressively. Start with formated HD, video card, nothing else plugged in. Reinstall windows, MB drivers, video drivers, etc. See if it can handle it. Then add one thing at a time, like sound etc.

Think you should look at a 450W PSU (minimum).
