Seasonics are good psu's I dont see a problem with that at all.

Additional Comment:

Just for reference, my psu handles my system with no problems.

From my understanding the video card is usually the one that usues a lot of power.

Yes the power supply in question has enough 12 volt amps to power the rig that you specified. 52 amps is more than enough and even though its a tad older it has all the connectors you need including the 8 pin cpu power adapter.

I myself am also still using an older Seasonic sourced unit that is about the same age. A Corsair HX-520 and even though i am not pushing it very hard its still running rock solid.
