Well, then, I'll bite. How old is your existing PSU? No it won't be enough from the get go even if was a brand new unit. I'd suggest a reliably build 650W unit so you have headroom for your build and future overclocking endeavors or at the very least, be able to hold onto the PSU for a long time.

My PSU is maybe 4 months old if even that, lets say I buy the GPU now and wait with the PSU for a couple of months, would that be ok you recon? Just can't afford a new GPU and PSU right now.
