Hi! I'm thinking of upgrading my G3258 to an i5 4690 or i7 4790 not the K series since I'm not a fan of overclocking.

Specs:
CPU: G3268 (current), i5 4690/i7 4790 (planned)
MoBo: Gigabyte H81M DS2 Rev3
GPU: Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-X
Memory: Gskill Ripjaws X (2x4GB 1866).
Storage: 2HDDs (Seagate Barracuda 500GB, WD 1.5TB), and 1 optical drive.

My budget is strictly for CPU only, so I can't upgrade my MoBo at this time.
Would my Seasonic S12II-620 be enough to power those components?
 
Solution
Absolutely. Seasonic is arguably the number one PSU manufacturer in the world.

Your PC probably barely breaks 400watts, and that 620watt Seasonic can likely reliably push 20-30 watts more than it's rated for. Solid buy.
