Sufficient PSU?

I'm considering upgrading the heart of my system, and am wondering if the existing PSU would be sufficient. It was a high-end PSU when I last upgraded, but I know that power requirements have jumped up over the last couple of years.

I've got an OCZ 520W modular PSU, and the new system would consist of:

Asus M3A79-T Deluxe
Phenom 9950
OCZ 4GB Reaper
some cheapo but current ATI GFX card, dunno which yet (I don't play modern games)
About 6 SATA HDDs, ranging from 300GB to 1.5TB
2 x DVD-RWs

Would the PSU cut it please?

consider the 4500 or 4600 range for your GPU, will still allow you to game when you want, but wont be very power hungry
