Will it explode?
It's a coolermaster silent pro M2 850W from may 2013, meets the requirements for the card, i've not been particularly stressing it as it spent 3 years powering a gtx770 and 4 years now on a 1080, not overclocking. Worth trying and if there are problems think about changing it?
 
Thanks, I just read up on voltage ripple which I hadn't looked into before, it would mean I would have no chance of undervolting the card or even having any headroom to oc, I'll go for the 750w superflower since they were always spoken highly of on here, and I seem to remember they deliver a minimum of 750w and draw more from the wall if I'm correct, things might have changed by now. I bought the current psu having seen 80 plus silver, didn't realise there was more to it than that
