My PSU enough?

Hi I've been thinking about building a new system for a while (actually made a thread not too long ago) but decided to wait and was thinking of going for a GTX580 or possibly one of the new ATI cards along with an i7.

Would my PSU be able to handle it? It's a Corsair HX620w full specs here just in case (http://www.corsair.com/products/hx/default.aspx)

I'd likely just be running those and 2 hard drives, been out of the loop a bit so not sure exactly how much power all this new hardware sucks up compared to when I built my current computer!

Thanks!

Yeah the HX620W will handle that no problem. You can use this as a guide: http://www.corsair.com/psufinder/

Great thanks guys, handy little tool there too. Glad I went for the slightly better PSU when I did for a bit of future proofing.
