The answer is no thats not a good choice.
Buying a power supply based on a single spec of WATTS and ignoring combined power spec for the 3.3v / 5v rails is not a good idea.
There is a reason why B3 BR BT W1 N1 B2 G2 and BQ versions of the EVGA series DO NOT WORK AT ALL.
The B1 and G1 versions are fine.
BARE MINIMUM I would ever recommend is 700B1 100-B1-0700-K1

Corsair CX750M would also likely be fine YMMV
