PSU decision for gaming?

Ok here's the deal. I have a system configuration of

CPU: intel pentium dual-core E2180

MOBO: ASRock G41M-VS2

GPU: ASUS Radeon 4870

HDD: 2X WD

I run it on a cheap 700W PSU and obviously it was a stupid decision. However I bought a new PSU for a near future system. What i want to know is can i rum my current system on the new PSU until I finish building the new system?

Oh the new PSU: OCZ MODXSTREAM-PRO 700W

    It's hard to honestly say yes or no. I had a cheap psu once and although nothing else got fried, it could have. I finally bought a good brand 800w psu at Newegg and no problems ever since. I believe there is a bit of a risk but also know how it is to try to save money.
