Planning to get the seasonic x850. Is it enough for my config below?

- asus p9x79 deluxe
- intel i7 3820 (and to upgrade to ivy bridge-e 6 core when available)
- sapphire hd7850
- 6hdd (planning to get to 15hdd with hba supermicro card later)
- minor usb stuffs keyboard mouse etc
 
For your current build you only need 450W....even going nuts with HDDs you're only going to need another 100W. Possibly a bit more if you're going nuts with case fans.
 
Yep. Good 500-600 watt power supply would be sufficient.
 
That is the WORST calulator I've ever seen.

You need no more then 600w.

This. It overestimates the draw on my system by a almost a factor of 2x.

OP, the only PSU calculator I trust is written by PSU gurus FiX and Phaedrus, and can be dowloaded from:
