Yes. The graphics card draws up to 318W with synthetic load according to Wikipedia.
The PSU delivers 54A@+12V leaving 330W for the rest of the system. 😀

nothing sucks power like a GeForce 8400GS

Did you mean "GeForce 8800 Ultra"? 😎

Had one of these years back. What a massive beast - with two power connectors.
Of course it slowly killed itself because it ran too hot - after the glitches and freezes became too annoying and frequent, I tossed it out.

Different OEMs.I believe the G1 (not sure about G1+) and GQ are FSP where the G2 and G3 series are Superflower. FSP is okay, but Superflower is on par with Seasonic.
