Time to upgrade?

Hey everyone-

Quick question that I think I know the answer to-

Here is my new rig-

AM3 720
4gigs ocz ddr3
ATI 4890
2*750gg hds
2dvdrom
Creativw Fatality somesuch sound
Tv tuner card

Possibly looking to add 4 more gigs of ram and a water cooling loop

Will my 500W OCZ gamer extreme handle all this?
Btw I am looking to overclock and I don't want my psu holding me back
Thanks!
 
It will power it, but OCZ PSUs aren't of the top quality, especially as you get closer to its wattage limit. I'd suggest upgrading to something like the Corsair TX650 or TX750 or PC Power & Cooling 750W.

Are you sure you have the GameXStream 500W? I don't see any mention of it on OCZ's website.

But assuming that's based on the same FSP Platform, I'd say no, even without the overclocking.
