Is this PSU enough for this rig?

Hi,

I just built a pc for a guy, but I have my doubts about the PSU he chose for this rig.

It has a i5 650
WD 1TB
2x2GB 1333Mhz
MSI P55-CD53
MSI 465 GTX

PSU: Antec 380

I tried a lot of stress-testers and still it works pretty well. But for how long? Won't the psu just give up at a certain moment? What is actually the best general-stress-tester?

Thanks.
 
By 'still works pretty well' do you mean it was used?
Even if it's new it doesn't seem enough.
550 - 600w?
Use this http://www.antec.outervision.com/ to get an idea. It's not exacting. And I think it starts at 34w and has like a 10% reserve too. But keep those in there, it's needed.
 
I just mesuared it and the maxium I got was 260W. And no, it's a new psu. The whole system is new. It ran the whole night with maximum stressing.
