Thread Starter 
Specs:

ASUS P8Z68-V LX Z68 (dual PCI-e 16 1155)
1tb caviar green 7200 rpm

If you have the connectors on the PSU, it will probably 'work.'
I cannot guarantee the system will function properly with all parts stressed to the max or if you overclock. I recommend 750+.
See here.

my estimation is that it wont even past 500w even under OC'ed, so yeah, you're better off with that PSU with your current specs.

As others have said your current PSU is just fine.
