While 400 Watts is slim for this card, it's worse as you selected a split rail model.

Try over 500 Watts plus a SINGLE RAIL +12V model.

Example at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 at about 50USD. Notice the single +12V rail?

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-560-ti-448-core-benchmark,3082-10.html gives us a little insight into the power demands of this card. Moving to a single rail and up one notch should keep you out of trouble.
