No it won't it's a very poor power supply with only 12 amps on the 12v + rail.

Here's one that will.

34 amps on the 12v + rail.

That's a very low quality unit. You'd be better off with something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100w10430kr which is still not what I'd call "quality" but is a much better budget choice.

Ideally I'd suggest this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii430b which is a great unit.

It's best not to go too cheap on a PSU as a bad one will ruin the rest of your PC if it breaks (and it probably will...)

See above! The Seasonic is a good unit and you can go for a larger Wattage unit if you plan on a beefier graphics card in the future.

More than enough power.

Made by SEASONIC.

This one is very nice and also Seasonic http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=59615&vpn=P1550SXXB9&manufacture=XFX. It's $69.99 but has a $10 rebate making it $59.99 if that helps. The Capstone mentioned above is also really nice

 

[Brendan Calkins]

Got the Capstone. Thanks guys!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Your welcome glad to help, it's a great choice made by the best Super Flower.

 

[plywrlw]

It makes me smile just to think how many millions of times better that PSU is to the Sentey one we started with! Your PC will thank you! Enjoy!

 

[Vic 40]

You went for the xfx in the mean time? Not a bad choice btw.
