Media Do I have the power?

Hey, I've just ordered some new parts to upgrade my comp and was wondering if I needed to get a new PSU as well. My current PSU is 350W and has served me well so far but with my new equipment I wasn't sure if it will still hold up. If I do need a new PSU then could anyone please advise me as to what voltage and maybe provide links to some good ones. My power absorbing hardware is as follows...

Intel Pentium 4/ 3.2E GHz 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Technology - Retail
Samsung Black 52X32X52X16 DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
WD Caviar SE 120 GB Hard Drive
Sapphire Radeon X800 PRO AGP 8X 256MB DDR3 w/VIVO
4x Standard 80mm case fan, UV Blue (I've got 4 of these)
Thermaltake A1280 Quad 120 mm w/o LED Case fan
Abit iS7 i865PE P4 800FSB Skt478 DDR ATX Motherboard

I believe that's everything that absorbs power from the PSU. I'm using the retail fan that comes with the P4. I also have a PCI soundcard but it doesn't plug into the PSU or anything. Thanks in advance.

Send a message via ICQ to JPMiller
all parts of your computer draw power either directly though a plug from the PSU or from the motherboard socket its plugged into...

Depending on the Brand of PSU, It would be a close call. But With an X800 and a P4 3.2Ghz I would recommend Upgrading. If it is not name brand I would recommend upgrading imediately.
