Old post, but...
That seems to be fairly accurate actually. A 5850 has a rated TDP of 151w, the 3570k has a TDP of 77w, which would probably be around 100w depending on how many volts are added for the overclock. Since you didn't specific about the hard drives and motherboard, so I would assume the rest of the components would be pulling around 50w, which totals to 450w.
Should you be running a rig like that on a 450w power supply? Of course not, something along the lines of a 600-700w units would be suitable to ensure that unit is at lower load levels for cleaner power output and a longer lifespan overall.

It's worth noting that OCZ doesn't actually make the power supplies, but they sell rebranded units, typically produced by Highpower or FSP. Consequently you really can't generalize all of their products as they are being produced by completely different companies, let along the different price ranges different products are targeted at.
Their ZT and ZX series are pretty decent though, high quality internal components and clean power output.
