Is this PSU good enough to power...

Hey guys,
I'm building myself a system, and id'e like to know if my Hiper Type-M 580W PSU will be ok to power it:

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3P
Core2Duo E8400 (with a mild overclock)
2gig Geil DDR800
HIS Radeon HD5770
1 HD and 1 DVDRW

If its good enough to power this system, would it also handle 2 5770's? I might consider crossfire in the near future.

Cheers.

Should be, 650W is recommended for two so i'd change but it would most likely handle them too.

even with a crazy overclock i doubt that system will pull more than 250-280W...with another 5770 probably 320-350.

Thats what I thought. I don't normally consider ATI cards, but this time round, the performance of the 5xxx series along with suprisingly low amount of power they draw, was a very attractive prospect for me.
Cheers guys
