Yes, go ahead. 

 

If the fan gets loud, just tell your friend its normal.

 

You can use 1 of these calculators>

they should give you about max power usage, no overclocking estimated.

You'll be fine.

 

CPU = up to 100w (@ Max load)

GPU = up to 200w (@ Max load with a hefty OC)

Fans/HDD's/Motherboard/Memory has 150-190w to play with... which is ample.

 

 

Your PSU fan will spin faster the more loads it gets to keep it cool... 50% load or more, or even 50*c or higher, it may kick up the fanpeed.

Buy a PSU with more headroom to remove PSU fan speed noise.
