Corsair Vx450w to Seasonic M12II 520w?

[awatz]

I just built a new system.

i5 2500k
Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
GSkill RipjawsX 4GB
Corsair Force GT

I retained my PSU, VC (8800GT), and 2 old Seagate 7200.11s
I will be upgrading my VC soon. Just waiting for the new Radeons (probably the 7800).

Can the Corsair handle my system with the new VC or do I need to upgrade?
The Seasonic M12II 520w just went on sale for $62. Would that be enough?

Looks like the 78xx power requirements are pretty low. The 520 is probably fine. As for the current Corsair? You didn't mention which one it was.

Probably fine either way. The 7850 will need 90W each and the 7870 will need 120W each. Assuming all the connectors are there.

The Corsair Enthusiast VX450 Series (CMPSU-450VX), with its +12 Volt continuous current rating of 33 Amps and its one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector will be more than sufficient to power your system with a single Radeon HD 7870 or a Radeon HD 7850.
