Can my power supply support my system

I bought a new PSU today since my old PSU doesn't have a 6pin PCI-E support plug and I needed one to support my graphics card. But I just noticed that on the graphics card box, it said that the minimum requirement on the PSU should be 450watt and the PSU that I bought is exactly 450watt. Since I only met the "minimum requirement" would I come into problems later on when I use the card for higher resource applications?

So far, I only used the new PSU for basic computer stuff like internet explorer, office, MSN, etc for around 5 hours and everything seems to be running fine.
 
Also, Im not sure if this helps or not, but I only I have 1 DVD drive and 1 Hard Drive installed on the system, unlike many of the people I know who have 2 or more of each on their systems.
 
Should be fine for that card, it's a bit older and shouldn't have as much power draw as newer cards.
