If you read in the specs for the card it says it needs 450 watts for a single card. But it also depends on what CPU you are running and how many amps that is taking up. But it should be fine.

"PCI Express based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual mode)
Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/online/certifiedpsu/index.html for a list of Certified productshttp://ati.amd.com/certifiedPSUfor
