Will a GTX 960 work with this Power Supply?

Dear Tom's Hardware community:

I've got this PSU: http://www.sentey.com/es/xpp-625-watts-xpp625-ps, which is a 625w Sentey, that manages 40A at the 12v rail (which develops, as long as I understand, a total of 480 real watts). As well, i wanna buy a Zotac GTX 960 AMP! Edition, which requires a minimal 20A and 400w PSU, as Nvidia's website states.
The thing is, some people have told me it won't work with the Sentey i got, though it vastly covers both the amperage and the wattage required. Nevertheless, as i have already run an XFX HD7770 (consuming 40 watts less than the 960) on a 26A PSU (which means 312w, almost 170 less than the Sentey i now have), simple equation and logics tell me it should work fine.

Could anyone tell me whether the Sentey PSU would stand the 960 or not?

Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!! :)
 
Solution
I view it as even if that power supply can only do half of what it should, it should still be enough. and after some reading, it appears it is not a bad power supply. so i have full confidence in this working.


Robert,
thanks for that really quick answer!! 😀
Yes, i know it ain't no EVGA or Seasonic, its more of the ones called ''generical'', at least here where i live (Argentina). Still, it has more humble models which give out only 18A or 20A; but this series all deliver higher amperages. I just have that doubt because logic tells me it should work, but a friend said it wouldn't just because it's a Sentey 😀.

Anyways, thanks for your answer, and hope you can get me out of this doubt completely :)

Cheers!!
