Will this PSU be able to support this system. I read that it should be enough. I did a PSU calculator and it said I'd have about an extra 100W of power. Can anybody make sure, thanks.

That should be okay - usually the GPU makers and the PSU calculators slightly overestimate. One thing to remember though is that PSUs do degrade with time and use, so to allow about 30% extra in power is a good rule of thumb if you use the computer a lot.
