Fine to use it as a guide ... nothing more.
Since your psu is like 2 or 3 years old and only 500watts it proably doesn't have a single rail for the 12V. Depending on how you hook everything up ... you can overload one rail without overloading the entire psu. That in part is what makes the 312w recommendation unreliable.
Single rail on the 12V is the way to go ...
