Solution
The Nvidia recommendation for a PC with a single GTX 750 is a minimum of 400Watts for the entire system with a minimum of 20amps on a single 12V rail.
It is not the wattage that is important, but the amount of continuous current - amperage - that can be delivered on the 12V rail at 40-50 degrees C : a typical temperature inside a computer case.
The information I found indicates that that powersupply should have 25amps on the 12v rail: I could find NOTHING about how that it was determined so would guess it was at room temperature of ~25C. It is Not 80Plus rated.
VS is near or on the bottom of Corsairs power supply line up.It will probably power you computer just fine, but for how long is the question, and babchicken is right, no...


Great! should be just fine.
