Is 700W enough? Or am I in trouble?

Thanks in advance

I wont be OC'ing my CPU either, Ill make sure Ill have ample amount of cooling running through my case as well so I do not need to worry about overheating.

It should have enough power...but you may run into out of spec ripple when you load it up gaming.

That PSU goes out of spec at about 500W of load, although you probably won't reach that level with your components if you don't overclock. It's doable, although I'd be more comfortable with a better PSU.

I agree with Zero on this one also. I would feel safer with a 750 watt PSU with 60A on the +12V like a Corsair 750TX or PC Power & Cooling 750 silencer.
