Will my current PS be enough?

In the future, I will be upgrading my current rig that will be used for gaming.
I currently have an OCZ modstream 450. It's fine for now, and have had no issues using it, but will it be able to handle the newer vid cards, CPU and any peripherals?

It looks like you psu has a 26 amp 12V rail. That gives you roughly 300 watts on the 12 v rail. A 8800gts uses 105 watts load and a stock Core 2 is about 130 watts. I'd say as long as your not doing a crazy overclock, you'll be fine.
 
I'll push as far as I can go on stock voltages, so...that will suffice until I want to go higher.

Thanks!
