That PSU should handle your system well enough, as long as you're not planning on upgrading your machine too much. Personally, I'd go with a 700W, but I tend to want the higher end components like dual video cards. I'd say that PSU will be perfectly fine unless you're planning on doing SLI or Crossfire with video cards.

Personally I'm not a fan of OCZ PSUs. They tend to be sketchy about build quality unless you are shelling out $150+.

I'd take a look at this one before you commit. Offers some more power and instead of dual 18A rails you get one 40A 12v rail.
