I have experience with 8600GT, I came across this review while browsing hope this could help you. As I know corsiar is much better...
 
Of course it will work, i didn't say it wouldn't work did i?

THe issue i have with that PSU is the following:

Sleeve Bearing Fan
No PFC
Low efficiency (70% tested at 25oC - not 40oC or something more realistic).
Only 70% of that efficiency is on the 12V rail (e.g. 432W * 0.7 = 311W), but due to ATX standards, 12V+1 is dedicated to the CPU, leaving only 160W or so for the rest of the system, including the GPU, which is only 13A.

To behonest, it is not a quality PSU, and for $80 you can get something like this which is much, much, much better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103941 This Antec PSU has 3 x 12V rails, 85% efficency, active PFC, ball bearing fan, 5 year warranty. FOR THE SAME PRICE
