You would probably be fine. Max load power consumption for a computer not heavily overclocked, only 1 or 2 hard drives, and that GPU would be in the neighborhood of 350-400 watts. Yet that is running something that is GPU and CPU intensive. Plus, if it is too much for your PSU (I doubt it), I don't think your PSU will fry or destroy your computer. It will probably BSOD or you will see artifacting or tearing on the screen. You made the right call upping the PSU for the long run, but in the short term you will be fine.
