My PSU good enough for this?

Hello. Currently I have a OCZ StealthXStream 600w (link).

My current specs are:
C2D E6850
4GB Mem
8800GTS 320mb
500GB SATA HDD
300GB IDE HDD

All of which the PSU handles fine. But I want to also add these:

3x 1TB Samsung F3 HDD (I plan to put them in RAID 5)
1x Crucial M225 128GB SSD

(So that would be 5 hard drives plus an SSD total)

And I will probably be upgrading the graphics card as well at some point.

Do I need a more powerful PSU or is 600w enough? Thanks.

Depends what you upgrade the graphics too.

But I should think stock you are well within the limits currently.

Plenty of overhead, you could run 15-20 modern HDDs on that system with that PSU.

Thanks.

I don't know what graphics card I'll get yet, but probably whatever is around £250-275 in 3 to 6 months time.
