As long as it pumps out 400 it should be fine.

Cheers bro!

According to a power calculator online I need around 370W, so I rounded up.

Dude.

My PC uses around 380W max*. Including screens and peripherals.

And not to be cocky or anything, but I have a bucket load more power hungry gear than you do.

* Not sure if that includes the reactive power or not. Either way, you're not using 400W
