Can I keep using my psu for a while longer?

Hi there I have a hyper 880w psu (1050w max) it says. Need to know if it will power this setup for a month or so till I upgrade to corsair ax1200 psu

I7 2600k
Asus p8p67 deluxe
2x sata hdds
1x SSD drive
1x optical drive
Gtx 590
Xfi titanium sound card

It says sli compatible on psu and I have 2 8 pin leads requires for card! I'm running a gtx 295 at present with the above system and it's fine? Just don't want to go splash out on a new case and gpu and not be able to power it! Thanks

It will be plenty.

I don't see why you even need to upgrade the PSU.

I have notice people go a bit over board with PSU. Second look at Sig though and mine as well buy it since they got the money.

Think a few on here said it was crap that's all? I've had it a while but it's probably only on for a few hours if that each day!

It should be fine as it won't be under huge stress. If I could afford it though, I'd get the Corsair ASAP.

I will upgrade the psu in future as I may put another gpu in when they come down in price. But if I can get a few months out of this one, I'd be very happy
