Okay so I am not 100% sure if I have a powerful enough PSU. I just bought it recently when my original went out. The original was a 401 watt artic.

If you know more about power distribution than me, I could really use advice before I overhaul my system.

Current set-up:
-FX-4100 3.8 GHz Quad-Core-
-Nvidia GTX 550-
-Older GigaByte motherboard.-
-Raidmax Hybrid 2 RX530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2 PSU- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028)

I am looking to upgrade to:
-FX-8320 Vishera 3.5 GHz Eight-Core- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285)
-GigaByte GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboard- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514)
-2x Sapphire Radeon 7850 1GB 256-bit- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004)


Is my current PSU enough to run a 125W CPU and 2x 7850's?

None really, it's the last thing you need to worry about when purchasing a power supply.

When you buy a power supply buy one with good efficiency, enough amps/watts, and from a reputable brand.
