Question about my Seasonic S12-500

[CannibalTrout]

I'm looking at dropping in a new cpu and upgrading my video at the same time. Think I could get away with using my current supply?

Current setup:

E2160 @ 3ghz
3 HD drives (2 7200, 1 10000)
1 DVD-RW
8800GT
3 80mm case fans

I'm hoping to be able to drop in a e8400 or q9550 (haven't decided) and a 4870 or GTX260 (haven't decided on that either). Think the Seasonic could handle an upgrade like that? or would she go up in smoke?

Ah, did some digging through some older posts and it looks like the Seasonic is a little tank and should do fine. we'll see what happens lol.

The +12V rails are a little weak, but it'll be enough.

Yeah, they are the same as the Earthwatts 500W and some of Seasonics OEM parts that are built on the same platform
