Will this powersupply hold out?

I'm currently using the Seasonic SS-520GB Bronze 520 Watt power supply.

My GPU is an HD 7770 and my CPU is 2500k (not clocked)

I want to replace my HD 7770 with a 7870 Tahiti Bridge Myst edition.

The question is - will I need a new PSU or will this one hold out?

It seems to be considered a Tier 2 in quality from what I see (not so sure though)

My processor isn't clocked and neither will I clock the new GPU (at least not by any large amount)

Should I be worried about getting a new PSU or will this one hold?

I saw some benchmarks with 2500k and the same 7870 Myst Edition GPU and the whole system drew ~325 Watts.

You have a good quality power supply, you will be fine with that. You can even overclock your heart out.

The Seasonic should be good for the new GPU. Good luck and no worries!
