Its a 430 watt power supply. It can supply 430 watts constantly but it can spike up to 500 watts for short periods of times.

I have not heard of that brand of power supplies before so I would not go over a 400 watt load on it. I would prefer to spend a little extra on a better power supply. I use XFX power supplies as the higher tear ones are great quality and last a long time.

Most likely it's not even a 300W PSU.

That is a low quality 430 stated watts power supply that states 300 watts on the 12 volt rail that would probably pop if you pulled that much.
