The power supply really isn't good quality, but I think it probably should be enough. I would definitely buy a higher quality one, though, if you can.

Quote me so I can reply back :)

The corsair VS series is fairly low end. I would suggest getting a better quality unit like the Corsair RM550x or TXM 550w

i always recommend rmx,

go rm650x that should be enough.
