it could..assuming there's no heavy overclocking being done...but i've seen people pull it off..that power supply would suffice..but, i recommend upgrading it to an ax/hx 850/750 in the future..or a seasonic/antec power supply above 700 watts..if you can afford a M4E...you can afford a good power supply..don't skimp on that

Your power supply is very good.it will even handle a 6970

No problem!

Yep! as Obsidian86 already pointed out an Enermax psu is high quality.
A quality 500W psu will drive a 6950 no problem.

your psu is ok, processors and gpu are the only 2 that eats more power to your psu, the rest just eats very small amount of wattage,
about 100-150w are consumed by the processor, 150w-200w for gpu, the rest like mobo, memory, fan, hardisk consumes 15-30w each.
an average of 250-300w consumed excluding a videocard so if you have 525w true power, you still have 200w-275w available and thats a decent power for your gpu.
but you need more power when you decide to upgrade some parts, or add more device but for now your psu can run your system very well.
