Added updated part and removed the "open-ended" tag because the optimal answer was found.

Mar 23, 2015 at 11:33 comment added LaBird @randal'thor Thanks. Mathematically speaking, I tried a greedy strategy. Seems to work nicely until the bottom right hand corner, I need to use $59$, and it is not at the best position either (it is involved in $3$ of the $8$ sums). So that's why I think it is possible to beat the $480$ total.
Mar 23, 2015 at 11:27 comment added Rand al'Thor Your solution is pretty good, using six of the seven smallest odd primes. It may well not be beatable. Great puzzle though.
