Honestly as long as you're not really pushing it to the limits you're probably fine. What I mean by that is for example 2x power hungry cards and a highly overclocked CPU. You're not even getting close to your PSU's limits and it's not at an age yet where I'd think about replacing it for fear of it failing on a GPU that isn't really all that power hungry.
