Is my Antec 410W PSU powerful enough?

Looks like a reasonable load for that power supply, I wouldn't worry.

I think you might be able to upgrade to a 6800GT or X800XT without going over the limit, but you'd be very very close.

I've helped people track down Fortron Source retailers in the UK, there are at least 3 major online venders there.

Yes, all their power supplies for the U.S. market are either manually switchable or auto-switching, and I'm fairly certain the ones they sell over there are auto-switching.

Do you have this Antec 410w PSU? If so, what are the specs( how many AMPs will it output on the +3.3v, +5v, & the +12v Rails?)

Looking at your config, and doing some quick calculations, at 90% utilization (100% to drives and fans) you'll draw approx:

+3.3v = 2.7A
+5v = 23.5A
+12v = 23.8A

Which on an Antec True Power 430's (rated to 410w max output....80,000hrs MTBF@25c? what a joke.... what, you run your pc in a refrigerator?) rated output:

+3.3v = 38A
+5v = 36A
+12v = 26A

You may be cutting it a little close on the +12v Rail (especially when derating for temperature). Don't even think about putting a newer Radeon 8xx or 1xxx series or either of the GeForce 6800 or 7800 series video cards into your Rig.
