Too much hardware for PSU? How to tell ? Where to look for info...

Hello I currently have a 420 watt powers supply 28a 40a 18a and Im running a 2.4 ghz Athlon XP 3x256 Ram Radeon 9700 AIW. (heres the kicker) 1x 250 7x 120 2x 80 gig Hard drives Along with dvd +/- RW cdrw and dvd driver.

Do I need a better Power supply ? Most likely you are going to say yes but does anyone know a website that has information on with which and how much hardware determines which PSU you should get ?

Thanks.. : )

damn 10 hdd's and a optical....if you search around here on the site{i know someone has the link} they have put together an actual power consumption list. There is no actual recomendation for a PSU based on hardware its a close guestament

one thing to note is that you can never have enought power but if your not haing issues then I'd say no need to upgrade
