I'm setting up a basic configuration, but I'm afraid the power supply will not support it.

Motherboard: Lenovo M57 (TYPE 6075)
CPU: Core 2 DUO E7500 2.93 GHZ
2X2 GB DDR2 800
01 HD SATA 160 GB 7.2K
PowerColor ATI 5450 1GB DDR3

PSU: Lenovo PS-5281-7VR (CRU P/N: 41A9684)

INFORMATION LABEL:
AT 25° Combined power on +5V and +3.3V rails not to exceed 135W
Combined power on +3.3V, +5V and +12V rails not to exceed 264W
The maximum total power shall not exceed 280W

AT 50° Combined power on +5V and +3.3V rails not to exceed 120W
Combined power on +3.3V, +5V and +12V rails not to exceed 240W
The maximum total power shall not exceed 250W

can someone tell me if I can stay calm with this power supply

Solution
That PSU is pretty crappy, however they work in those cheap systems. There is no way you'll be drawing more than 100w from the PSU with those specs....that leaves a lot of headroom, even on a crappy PSU.
