Ditto, bigger is better. IMO I wouldn't go smaller than a 450w and preferable higher since you have a lot of components going. You should be able to find the wattage requirements for all your components, add them all up and then get a PS that is significantly bigger. It might cost a bit more but you will be happy you did. Spend the $$$$ for a good brand PS also, their components will be overspec'd and not prone to failure.
