I really should know the answer by the point I ask it, but I am putting together a price to performance PC, have a e3 1225 v3, motherboard, 8gb of ram and a case lined up. I just have to find a video card (leaning towards gtx 950 or 1050ti but I might have more luck finding an rx 470.
The question is, can I use this PSU I have laying around: (or a slightly older identical model only has a single PCIE vs dual)

Is this a disaster waiting to happen or should it function or should I try it? worst case I nab a VX450 locally for ~$15 and add that to the price.
