We should be able to run everything except the case. The Thermaltake Armour requires loads of power!

Okay just kidding. Yes it should be more than sufficient to run that systme.

I have a similar system:
QX6850
Asus P5K Deluxe
8800 GTX
2GB XMS2
6x SATA HDD (1 raptor, 5 7200RPM drives)
2x optical
Plus like way too many USB devices

and it's running on an HX520 actually. The HX620 that was in there died (because some idiot spilled soda into it while it was running, and that idiot was me) but I replaced it with a 520 and noticed no difference in performance or temps.
 
lol first time i hear someone managed to kill a corsair :p i always knew some well placed liquid could do it.

It actually kept running for a few minutes as I was trying to shut the computer down. My case has the PSU in the upside-down position so unfortunately knocking that can of diet coke over and into the case killed only my power supply.

I'm glad it killed something I can easily replace. We don't have huge stockpiles of motherboards or CPUs or video cards in the lab that I can replace quickly. Heh.
 
Dude I have like the exact same setup as you except that I'm using the 8800 Ultra and different hd's and I'm running the Corsair 620 fine. Works great.
