Hey so I am about to order new parts in a few days and I was hoping that my current power supply will work with the new parts but I don't know if it will. I have 2 questions. Will my power supply work with my new setup? If yes will it work if I choose to overclock?

My current power supply: ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT 500W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194003

And here are the parts I plan on purchasing:
Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W
HIS H687F1G2M Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16
And a new motherboard and RAM to go with these two but I haven't decided on those two yet.

If my power supply wont work I'm just going to end up getting Corsair CMPSU-650TX as recommended by "System Builder Marathon, March 2011: $1000 Enthusiast PC" on this website but I prefer not to since I'm on a budget.
