That GPU will not pull 400w from the wall. No where near that.

What do you do on your PC?

If gaming, what games do you play?

Do you edit/render or just web surf?

Budget & currency

Oh hun, you got ripped off. The R5 230 is not a $120 card, it's a $40 card, new. It's not even worth buying because it's so low-end. It's not going to use anywhere near 400W so you'll be fine, but I'm assuming you have a pre-built so the PSU will be poor quality which isn't good. It'll do for now however.
