Quick power draw question

Hey guys,

I am building a secondary rig, going to try out Ivy Bridge, Kepler, and Windows 8. I pulled the trigger today on a PSU, and I am fairly sure it will suffice as far as power consumption goes. Just wanted to make sure before I open it when it arrives.

Below is what I will be powering:

ASUS Sabertooth Z77
3770K
EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ 4GB
2-4 SSDs/HDDs
optical drive

Will this sucker (550w) be enough? I will possibly do some moderate overclocking.

Yes, the Capstone is an excellent unit and is more than plenty to power a single 680 and IB setup without any restriction to overclocks.
