Would this PSU be able to feed with ease all my components?

I will need to know if those specs are good enough to power the following components (both in terms of wattage power but ALSO in enough appropriate connectors)
- Motherboard
- CPU
- 6 HDD Mechanical Drives
- 1 SSD
- Optical Drive
- 1 Graphic Video Card
- TV Tuner Card
- eSata Card
Peripherals would be 2 HD Monitors and a 4 Bay External enclosure with esata connection

Thank you

Without telling us WHAT CPU, WHAT Graphics Card, we can't answer that. I'm leaning towards no because you have 8 (I assume) SATA drives while your PSU has 4 SATA and 3 Molex.
 
Don't skimp on the PSU, its probably the only part of a computer that can span multiple generations.. my HTPC is running off a 9 year old Antec PSU for example, from the AMD 64 era, still running strong.

Think of the PSU as an investment more than anything else.

CPU is the Intel i5 3570 not overclocked
Graphics card is a modest nVidia GeForce 240 GTS 1GB
 
well that description belongs to a FSP 80 GOLD certified 400W. So now you can decide if it is ONLY good as a paperweight

All caps usually equate to crap products, but it sounds like an alright PSU (if not better). 400W shouldn't be a problem with your setup, but I'm not too familiar with the 240 GTS' power draw.

You've got to be kidding. You're saying that the OP's copy/paste of a description from a Newegg page, with the description showing up as all caps, makes the ps a junk unit?

Really?

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!
