Seasonic makes some great power supplies... I run the Corsair 620W PSU on my Intel Q6700 with an XFX GeForce 88000 Ultra and a pair of RaptoX hard drives running RAID and all is fine. The Corsair HK series is based off the M-12, so it should be a good PSU. Check out the voltages with a volt meter once you get it, but it should be good to go unless you do some crazy overclocking.

You'll be fine. System probably uses at full load around 400W. Normal usage maybe 250.
