I think it will be but i want to be sure before i buy it.

Parts

1. Asus dvd/cd reader/writer
2.8 gbs of patriot ram
3.6870 graphics card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948
4. z68 mother board- not sure which yet
5. i5 2500k'
6. And of course the 530 watt power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153151 I know its thermaltake but its 80 plus rated and is prety cheap with this combo deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.809218
 
Solution
530w is enough, but like you said, it's thermaltake... I dunno man, i wouldn't risk it. I'd rather get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371035, don't worry, it'll be enough. If you want to play it super-safe ( not like the antec won't be safe enough... ), get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139032&Tpk=Corsair%20550w. Another option would be seasonic ss-520gb/gm ( gb = non-modular, gm = modular ), but i can't seem to find them on newegg. Whichever of these 4 you chose, you will have a very reliable PSU.
