PC specs:

I3 530 CPU
GTX 660 GPU
8GB RAM
P7P55 LX MOBO

Question:
What are the chances of me running these specs on this PSU without it blowing up my house?
I REALLY don't want to get a new psu, i'm not going to overclock anything, i'll probably be playing some games on low/med 1280/1024 resolution.

Gtx 660 recommended psu is 430w. But thats taking into consideration older cpus like the 125w FX and the differences between good, bad and decent psus.

Realistically, you'll see maximum watts of 150 for a 660 (1x6pin+ mobo), 50w for cpu and 50-100w for the rest of the system. So maximum wattage will be 250-300w, gaming will be @70% of that, so 150-225w generally.

So as long as that 350w psu is decent and will actually supply its claims, you'll be ok, if it's a serious hunk of junk that claims 350w but realistically puts out closer to 200-250w, you could be in trouble.
