My gut feeling is my system SHOULD be able to run this, but I wanted to be sure:

My PSU is a PCP&C 610W

System will be:

6 GB DDR3
Core i7 920 (overclocking though)
evga X58
2x WD 150 GB Raptors
1x 1 TB WD Drive
2x DVD Burners
4-5 fans
sound card (X-Fi now, Xonar soon, I hope)
4-5 USB devices (Mouse, KB, cell phone charger, maybe a flash drive...simple stuff.)


This PSU currently powers my system in my sig right now.

If not this PSU, then what?

Yay for getting an i7 at Fry's tonight. :)

Thanks!
 
should not be a problem with your current power supply, i was running a similar system on an hx520 but upgraded to an hx620 today because Frys has it for $10 more than i paid for the hx520 and i just couldn't resist, so i'm going to return the hx520 after i rip it out of my system
 
AS long you do not run a sli rig with the GTX280, this psu will do fine.
