475W should be plenty but the main concern isn't the wattage but the quality of the power supply. To my knowledge, there's only one 475W Cooler Master unit and that's the Extreme 2 which is a pretty bad unit.

 

If you can afford it, it certainly wouldn't hurt to get another power supply. Something like the Corsair CX450M, 550M or the Seasonic S12II 520W would be good choices.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Yeah according to pcpp it would require just under 400. I would get a new one if you have enough money but if you don't it should work

The only reason I'm here is that I have homework that I don't want to do
