But don't go skimping on the PSU either, because OEM PSUs are almost always crap. The PSU I'm currently using is from an OEM case, and its crap; I could probably replace it with a 350 watt high quality PSU and it would work better!
So yes, the graphics cards will run fine with less than recommended power supplies, but you want to make sure the PSU is good quality and wont die on you, otherwise you'll be buying another computer.
