With a watercooling setup and 8120 at 5.0ghz is about 550 watts that is just stressing the cpu and everything else is at idle. You will be pushing the limits of the PSU.

EDIT
At stock then no.

Assuming you have 2 4gb ddr3 and an ssd with the 2 6850s and a non oced 8120 your system would be around 600w. It would be pushing it. The psu is decent quality...I don't think it would make it.
