Will my current PSU still work?

I have a decent PSU that's never let me down, lots of power. I bought it with my rig 3 years ago, and now I'm upgrading most of the components in my computer. I'd like to know if I need to upgrade the PSU as well, or if I can use the same one.

It is an ABS Tagan BZ 1100W (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817814012).

The components in my new rig:
- i5 2500K
- ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 Z68 LGA1155
- G.SKILL F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL Ripjawsz 16GB 4X4GB DDR3-1600
- Crucial M4 SSD Micron C400 128GB 2.5IN Solid State Disk Flash Drive SATA3 6Gbps
- EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD 2560MB
- 5 Seagate HDDs
- 2 DVD/Blueray players
- big-ass sound card

Thanks!
 
I don't see why not. Not the best quality brand but hey, you'll only be using about a third of the rated wattage at load.
 
Yeah I had mixed feelings, but it had awesome reviews on Newegg (still does) and I fell in love with the modular aspect. I hate having more wires than I need.

It's lasted 3 years with never a problem, hopefully I can get another 3 out of it.
