CPU: Intel i3-4130

GPU: EVGA GTX650

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB @1866MHz

HDD0: Kingston 120GB SSD

HDD1: WD Blue 500GB

and a PCI-E Wireless card

I have all the above installed, and the PSU *seems* to be working fine, but I'm wondering if this is an OK setup. A friend of mine said that stressing out the PSU is a bad idea, and that I might be pushing it with 400W.

Can you replace a 500w power supply with a 400w?

Yes, you can replace a 500W power supply with a 400W one, but it depends on your system's power requirements. If your components draw less than 400W under peak load, the 400W supply may work. However, running a power supply close to its maximum capacity can lead to reduced efficiency and potential overheating. It's generally recommended to use a power supply that exceeds your system's wattage needs for optimal performance and longevity.
