New System will this PSU cut it?

Hi All I just ordered a new system here is the spec:
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Pioneer DVR-212DBK 18x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM

I also have a Koolance PC2-650 watercooling case, 1 x WD Raptor HDD, and 2 x Seagate HDD's RAID array.

Im currently using a 520W OCZ Powerstream PSU (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_powerstream_power_supply)
and wondering if this is going to be enough to run the new system?

any input greatly appreciated

edit.. You might get way with it but since you are running a water cooled system, I'd go for something a little higher tbh..

would think that PSU will run that lot ok, if you do upgrade the PSU the corsair HX620 is worth a look

what PSU would you recommend then? Is it worth only going for a minor upgrade to 620W or go higher?

you wont need any higher than the the corsair 620w unless you want to run twin graphics card setup.

are you going to be overclocking much?

wont be doing huge OC's but dabbling a bit

i would say the 520w is fine then
